Dalston is a large village and civil parish in historic Cumberland, England, situated a few miles south‑west of Carlisle. It occupies gently rolling farmland near the River Caldew and the open Solway plain, so it feels rural yet benefits from easy access to the city and the north‑west transport routes.
The parish has a strong agricultural heritage and a close‑knit community with traditional stone buildings, a village school, local pubs and clubs; a notable landmark is Dalston Hall, an old manor whose history gives a sense of the area's long settlement. These elements combine to make the place a commuter hub for Carlisle while retaining a distinctly Cumbrian village character and regular community events.
