Galava is indeed close to the head of Windermere and the putative site for the North Pole. I suspect AR never mentioned it in the books as the Romans were not known as Polar explorers and it would have rather given the game away as to the location he had in mind. Nowadays it is laid out for the visitor and makes an interesting side attraction for AR fans looking for the Pole.

If you want a literary appearance for it, try Mary Stewart's Merlin books - from memory it appears in the second, "The Hollow Hills" (but be sure to read "The Crystal Cave" first).
