Branthwaite Edge is a small village located in the county of Cumberland, in the northwest of England. Situated amidst the picturesque landscape of the Lake District, it is known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil setting. The village is nestled on the edge of Branthwaite Forest, a vast woodland that covers a significant portion of the area.

The village itself is characterized by its charming cottages and traditional architecture, which give it a quaint and timeless appearance. It is home to a close-knit community, with a population of around 200 residents. The locals take great pride in their village and strive to preserve its historical heritage.

Branthwaite Edge offers a range of outdoor activities, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. The nearby Branthwaite Lake provides opportunities for fishing and boating, while the surrounding forests offer walking and hiking trails for visitors to explore. The area is also known for its diverse wildlife, with sightings of deer, red squirrels, and various bird species being common.

The village lacks many modern amenities, with only a small shop and a pub serving as the main social gathering place. However, its peaceful and idyllic atmosphere more than compensates for the lack of facilities. For those seeking a serene and tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, Branthwaite Edge offers the perfect retreat amidst the natural beauty of the Lake District.
