Map of the UK

Lamplugh is a small, dispersed rural community in Cumberland in north‑west England, sitting on the fringe of the Cumbrian fells and moorland. The area is characterised by stone farmhouses, drystone walls and lanes that open out towards valleys such as Ennerdale, and it lies within easy reach of towns like Whitehaven and Workington and the broader recreational landscape of the Lake District.

Traditionally agricultural, with sheep farming and mixed holdings still important, the parish also bears the imprint of West Cumbrian nineteenth‑ and twentieth‑century industry, which shaped local settlement and employment patterns. Today it retains a quiet, community‑centred feel with village amenities and a steady interest from walkers and visitors seeking a quieter base outside the busy tourist spots, while many residents commute into nearby centres for work.
