Seathwaite, Cumberland
Seathwaite (/ˈsiːθweɪt/ SEE-thwayt) is a small hamlet in the Borrowdale civil parish of Cumberland, Cumbria, North West England. It is in the Lake District near Scafell Pike and 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Keswick at the end of a minor road that heads southwest from the hamlet of Seatoller, which is where the B5289 road begins its steep climb up the pass to Honister Hause on the boundary between Borrowdale civil parish and Buttermere civil parish.
The nearby Seathwaite Fell takes its name from the hamlet and lies about 1.1 miles (2 km) to the south-southwest of it. The name derives from a combination of the Old Norse words
sef (sedges) and thveit (clearing) and may be taken to mean "clearing in the sedges".
The name, then spelled Seuthwayt, first appeared in written records in 1340.
