Applethwaite is a village in the foot hills of Skiddaw near Keswick in the English Lake District. The name derives from it originally being the clearing in a forest with apples in it.
Applethwaite is mentioned in Alfred Wainwright's The Northern Fells guide book.
[edit] The church
St Marys church in the village is plain with some stained glass windows. The other church here is St John the Evangelist.
[edit] Location
Applethwaite is just off the A591, one mile north of Keswick. Or a short wander over the vales and dales from Grasvegas.
