Nibthwaite is a village in the South Lakeland District in the county of Cumbria. It is in the civil parish of Colton, Cumbria, and on the east side of Coniston Water.

There was a furnace and forge at Nibthwaite from 1751 to 1840, later (c1850) replaced by a bobbin mill, see Harrison Ainslie

The family of the author Arthur Ransome regularly holidayed at Nibthwaite when he was a child, and he incorporated local places and customs into the five of his Swallows and Amazons series of children's books which were set in the Lake District, around a lake based on both Coniston Water and Windermere.
