Caldbeck is a small stone-built village in the historic county of Cumberland, in England, now administered within Cumbria. It sits on the edge of the northern Lake District, sheltered by the rolling Caldbeck Fells and the prominent summit of High Pike, making it a handy base for hillwalks and quiet rural rambles.
Historically the parish had mining and quarrying activity and the landscape still shows that industrial past alongside hill farming; today the local economy is a mix of agriculture, small businesses and tourism, with a lively village social life centred on the pub, church and community events. Visitors appreciate Caldbeck for its traditional architecture, strong community spirit and the surrounding upland scenery rather than any large-scale attractions.
