001uk - what leads you to suggest this may be Cumberland/Westmorland?

It's a nice scene, but there's nothing much there to help narrow down the location .... still, you never know, someone might recognise it. :)

I wondered that too. Judging by the architecture, it could easily be a Cumbrian location but I don't recognise it.

I was thinking that the exposed stonework (on the end of the "pub") was a bit "orderly" for Cumberland. Apart from banks, it tends to be more random.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Is it stonework, or slate cladding?

It looks to me like a fairly sizeable place - good wide road with pavement, and quite a lot of buildings to be seen, so probably not a tiny remote village. And the trees suggest a low(ish)land rather than upland location. Some parts of the Peak District or Wales might fit the bill - or Devon or Cornwall perhaps. (Not much to choose from, then ;D)
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

And what is the horse and cart doing?    Is he collecting  firewood   or what else are they doing?

Slate cladding. And yes, Peak District or Wales are eminently possible, but it seems the OP has reason to think it could be Cumbria. There are plenty of villages in Lakeland valleys that look like this.

Not much to go on, really.

My hunch isn't based on anything. I can't even recall where I got it from. It just looks as though it might be plus the vibes I'm getting from the photo, man.

Mike in Cumbria is also getting those vibes.....

I think the central tree is a Horse Chestnut....

Not that it makes any difference, or helps in any way, but the tree is a sycamore.
