<p>A small earthquake measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale has shaken Cumbria, geologists said.</p>
<p>Data from the British Geological Survey showed the location of the quake in the Coniston area 5.6 miles south-west of Ambleside and with a depth of 8.9 miles. It lasted up to 20 seconds, according to people in the area.</p>
<p>Hotelier Alan Robertson, who was in his 30-bed hotel in Eskdale, near Whitehaven, described how the entire building shook.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was watching TV and there was this sort of really loud rumble. Then the entire building shook,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I ran out of the front door, only to be confronted by my guests running out of their part of the house. We couldn&#8217;t believe it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 36 year old, who had six guests at the Bower House Inn including a pregnant women, added: &#8220;The tremor must have last 15 or 20 seconds.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was sizeable enough to shake an old and well-established building. If I lived in a city, I would have assumed it was an explosion. I am still in shock. I can barely get my thoughts together.&#8221;</p>
<p>A spokesman for Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service said: &#8220;We have had confirmed reports from officers around the county. It happened around half an hour ago. We felt it here in Cockermouth.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have had no requests from members of the public. At the moment, we don&#8217;t believe there is any structural damage.&#8221;</p>
<p>People who felt the tremor described the sensation with a flurry of online activity on Twitter: &#8220;Tremor in Ambleside..felt and heard a rumble,&#8221; one tweeted.</p>
<p>Another posted: &#8220;So it seems like we have just had an earthquake in Milnthorpe, doors rattling, house shook. Exciting&#8230;&#8221;</p>
