Rosthwaite plaque
The plaque reads "Rosthwaite. Named from the Old Norse for 'the clearing in the rose thorns'. Rosthwaite has long been the social centre of the Borrowdale Valley. In the late 18th century thirsty miners slaked their thirst at the Miners Arms - now the Royal Oak - the venue for the annual ritual of the inauguration of 'The King of Borrowdale'. Early travel writer, William Gilpin, wrote in 1776 that in Rosthwaite 'the sons and daughters of simplicity enjoy health, peace and contentment'. The village has been home to many Borrowdale characters like the infamous 19th century smuggler of wad - black lead - 'Black Sal'.

Sheep in field at Rosthwaite
Beyond the field are houses of the village away from the road through Borrowdale. The mountain slope in the distance will rise ultimately to Dale Head but the area in view seems to be named at least in part as High Scawdel.
