URPoint Details
A quiet, old village overlooking the placid waters of Urswick Tarn, which local legend states is bottomless.
Cottages are appealing with either pebble-dashed or are rough-hewn pale-grey stone.
The parish church sits on an even earlier site.
The vertical grooves on the porch pillars are said to have been made by local men sharpening their arrows as they prepared for archery practice after Sunday service.
Inside are fragments of a pre-Norman cross inscribed with runic characters.
