In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dalehead like this:
DALEHEAD, a place on the south border of Cumberland; adjacent to Thirlmere, 6 miles SSE of Keswick. It has a post office under Windermere. Dalehead Hall stands on the margin of Thirlmere; and Dalehead mountain, with a small tarn, sends down a streamlet to the lake's head.
Dalehead is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dalehead itself, go to Statistics.
