Branthwaite is a hamlet in western Cumberland, on the River Marron approximately five miles from Workington and seven miles from Cockermouth. It is a small village with few amenities but is a sought after area.
There is one public house in the village, The Wild Duck. There was once a trout farm on the river but it has recently closed down. There is also an old mill, which was the main source for the village, but again this has long closed down and is now home to the local motor engineering business.
Branthwaite Hall is an old peel tower that stands between Branthwaite and Dean.
