Blawith
Blawith is a village in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, located about 6 miles north of Ulverston and just over 1 mile of the southern end of Coniston Water. Historically, Blawith and it's surrounding area was a township and chapelry in the ancient parish of Ulverston in Lancashire. Later, Blawith became an independent civil parish, until 1986, when it combined with Subberthwaite to form Blawith and Subberthwaite Civil Parish.
