The centre of Blindcrake
Blindcrake village is about 4 miles northeast of Cockermouth, well above the Derwent Valley. A mediaeval strip field system remains in the northwest sector of Blindcrake. Its name is an anglicised version of the celtic Blaen-craig (summit of a rocky outcrop). In 2001 287 people lived here, in 69 houses. There are four working farms in the village.
