Broughton is a small rural civil parish in the historic county of Cumberland, in the north‑west of England. It sits amid the rolling farmland and patchwork of hedgerows and stone walls typical of the region, with a scattering of cottages, farmsteads and a compact village core rather than any large urban centre.
Historically agricultural, the parish retains that character but has adapted with a mix of local farming, some commuters and a modest draw for visitors seeking quiet countryside; there are often listed buildings and a parish church at the heart of community life, plus occasional village events and societies that keep a strong local identity.
