Map of the UK

Hayton and Mealo is a small, characterful civil parish in Cumberland in north‑west England, set in a landscape of rolling farmland, hedgerows and traditional stone farmsteads. The area benefits from easy access to coastal saltmarsh and birdlife around the Solway Firth and, a little further south, the hills of the Lake District, so it appeals to walkers and people who enjoy low‑key outdoor pursuits.

Historically rooted in agriculture, the local economy still revolves around mixed farming, with a scattering of converted farm buildings and small rural enterprises; many residents also commute to nearby towns. Social life is village‑centred, with an active parish council, community gatherings and occasional agricultural events that reflect the parish’s long rural traditions.
