3About Thwaite Head
Thwaite Head occupies a quiet spot in Cumbria's Lake District, accessed via the A590 from Junction 36 of the M6, then through minor roads via Rusland. The settlement sits amongst ancient woodlands north of the Rusland Valley, with local routes connecting to Grizedale and Colton for daily trips. The name derives from Old Norse "thveit," meaning a forest clearing, which still accurately describes its woodland setting today.
