Rosside is a small village in Cumbria, England, on the outskirts of Ulverston.[1] The village consists of around 15 houses, all contained in an area of around 600m2. Rosside is part of the Ulverston parish, as are the neighbouring villages of Pennington, Swarthmoor and Loppergarth.
Rosside is loosely split into two areas, 'Little' (La'al) Rosside and 'Great' Rosside. These two groups of buildings are split by the stream running through the village, which is fed by the Barton reservoir at the Spade Forge.
A local landmark is Rosside Dam. Built to power the water wheel of the Lancashire Spade Company forge.
