Lowside Quarter is a small, largely rural civil parish on the west coast of Cumberland in England, occupying low-lying farmland and hedged fields with easy views out towards the Irish Sea. The settlement pattern is scattered hamlets rather than a single village, and its quiet lanes and nearby coastal paths make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers while keeping a strong sense of countryside living.
Historically the area shares West Cumbrian roots in 19th‑century mining and ironworking, and you can still find traces of that industrial past alongside working farms. Today the local economy is mixed - agriculture and small businesses with many people commuting to neighbouring towns such as Whitehaven and Egremont - and community life centres on village halls, pubs and seasonal events that reflect a close‑knit rural social fabric.
