Setmurthy is a small rural parish in historic Cumberland, in north‑west England, on the quieter fringe of the Lake District. The landscape is a patchwork of rolling pasture, hedged fields and small woods with clear views towards Bassenthwaite and the surrounding fells, making it attractive to walkers who prefer quieter lanes and footpaths.
The community is sparsely populated and centred on scattered farms, traditional stone houses and a small parish church; agriculture, especially sheep and cattle, remains important alongside a modest amount of tourism and holiday accommodation. Historically the area reflects centuries of rural settlement with several listed buildings, and residents tend to look to nearby market towns such as Cockermouth for shopping, services and social events.
