It lies just off the B5289 road to the south of Derwent Water and {{convert|4|mi}} south of Keswick, in the county of Cumbria.[1]Historically part of Cumberland, the village is overlooked by Grange Fell and Castle Crag, which flank either side of the narrow section of Borrowdale in which it sits. Its origins date back to medieval times, when the monks of Furness Abbey built a monastic grange on the site. The double-arched bridge that links the village to the B5289 across the River Derwent was built in 1675. Holy Trinity Church followed in 1861.[1] For local government purposes Grange forms part of the civil parish of Borrowdale, the district of Allerdale, and the county of Cumbria. It is within the Workington constituency of the United Kingdom Parliament, and the North West England constituency of the European Parliament.[2] The novelist Hugh Walpole owned Brackenburn, a large house about {{convert|1|mi}} to the north of Grange, and lived there from 1924 until his death in 1941.[1] See also{{portal|Cumbria}}
