Camerton is a small rural parish in the historic county of Cumberland in north‑west England, now administered within the Cumberland unitary authority. It sits amid rolling farmland and hedged lanes on the fringe of the Lake District, so residents enjoy easy access to both upland fells and nearby coast while keeping a quiet village atmosphere.
The community retains traditional stone cottages, a parish church and a village hall; agriculture - particularly sheep and beef farming - remains important, though a mix of commuting and small‑scale tourism has grown in recent years. Local history and social life reflect typical Cumbrian rural patterns, with nineteenth‑century farming and small industries leaving their mark, and a healthy programme of walks, village events and birdwatching that draws visitors to the surrounding lanes and hills.
