Holme Low is a small, sparsely populated parish in the far north‑west of Cumberland, England, set on the low-lying plain beside the Solway Firth and close to the Scottish border. The landscape is largely a mix of arable fields, grazing pasture and coastal saltmarsh, with long horizons that make it popular for gentle walking and birdwatching.
The local economy remains rooted in agriculture, with scattered farms and small hamlets forming a close‑knit community often organised through the parish council. Historic farmsteads, lanes and field patterns speak to centuries of rural life, while the parish’s coastal position adds quiet tourism and an appealing sense of borderland history for residents and visitors alike.
