Midgeholme is a tiny, sparsely populated civil parish in Cumberland, set in a rural landscape of rolling farmland, patches of moorland and scattered stone farmsteads. The area feels quietly remote, with narrow lanes, drystone walls and long views that reflect its upland-fringe character.
Historically the parish saw small-scale coal working and quarrying, traces of which remain in the form of old workings and field patterns, but today the economy is largely agricultural, centred on sheep and hill farming; many residents travel to larger towns for services. Socially it is a close-knit community, attractive to walkers and those seeking a quieter rural life, with local heritage preserved in traditional buildings and lingering industrial relics.
