Threlkeld




Threlkeld is a pretty village situated 3 miles to
the east of Keswick and lies in the shadow of
Blencathra or Saddleback as it is commonly known.
The name of Threlkeld is Norse and means 'the
spring of the thrall' but I am afraid I cannot
enlighten you as to what a thrall is! The village
was a minor 'boom town' at the start of the 20th
century when quantities of zinc and lead were
discovered in the area. Over a hundred men were
employed at the local mine and terraced houses were
built to accommodate them, quarrying for granite
continued in the area until the 1980's. The nearby
Blencathra Field Centre was once a TB isolation
hospital but now functions as a residential centre
offering courses in biology and geography.
