Cockley Beck is a small hamlet on the eastern side of Dunnerdale, which divides Lancashire (on which side Cockley Beck is found) from Cumberland.
The hamlet is within the Lake District.
The hamlet itself was established in the late 16th century, and is closely associated with the mining of copper ore in Furness.[1]
