Situated in north‑west Cumberland in England, Irton with Santon is a small rural parish on the edge of the Lake District. It includes the village of Santon Bridge and scattered hamlets, lying in the valley cut by the River Irt and overlooked by the modest fell of Irton Pike, with easy access to Eskdale, Wasdale and the coast at Ravenglass.

Agriculture and tourism largely shape the local economy, with walkers and visitors drawn by quiet lanes, farmsteads and wide views rather than major attractions; a historic parish church and a country house add a sense of heritage. Social life tends to revolve around village amenities, seasonal events and outdoor pursuits, giving the area a quietly rooted Cumbrian character while sitting close to popular Lakeland fells.
