Map of the UK

Hethersgill is a small, largely rural civil parish in the unitary area of Cumberland in north‑west England, a short drive from the city of Carlisle. The landscape is typical of the region - rolling farmland divided by hedgerows and stone walls, scattered farmsteads and quiet lanes that make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers seeking a low‑key countryside experience.

Economically the parish is dominated by agriculture, with mixed livestock and arable farms alongside a handful of small local businesses, while many residents commute to nearby towns. Its history is reflected in old stone buildings and field patterns; socially it retains a close‑knit community feel with village events and parish institutions forming the local focus.
