Essex days; Hylands House and Park
The area immediately afront the house appeals to me as clean, light-colored, photogenic access.

I doubt it is Gaelic. That area in Cumberland is strongly Norse. Norse people of course settled in Ireland but the area in this part of the English Lakes is definitely Norse.
