    A small, pretty village a few miles east of Keswick, Threlkeld has a rich history dating back over 800 years. It is thought that a settlement may have existed since before the Roman times. In the 20th century, the village became a 'boom town' as zinc and lead were discovered nearby. Quarrying took place in the valley until the 1980s. Today, the quaint village is home to a local inn, traditional steam engines and a strong community spirit.
