Oldwall is a small rural settlement in the historic county of Cumberland, now within modern Cumbria in north‑west England. It has the quiet, pastoral character typical of the region, with stone-built cottages, hedged or drystone field boundaries and a landscape that appeals to walkers and those seeking a low‑key country base.
The name suggests an association with an old boundary or field wall, and the hamlet’s history is rooted in agriculture and small‑scale local trade rather than industry. Community life tends to centre on a village hall or nearby parish facilities, while the local economy is largely farming with some residents commuting to larger towns or working in tourism connected to the nearby fells and coast.
