Threlkeld is a small rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, lying on the eastern fringe of the Lake District just a few miles from Keswick. It sits beneath the dramatic slopes of Blencathra and around glacial valleys, so the landscape is dominated by hiking routes, fellside pastures and the remains of former industrial workings.
The community has a strong outdoor and agricultural character: tourism, hillwalking and small-scale farming are important to the local economy, while the Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum highlights the parish’s quarrying and mining heritage. Social life centres on village amenities and events, and the area is popular with walkers seeking quieter access to classic Lakeland ridges.
