St John's, Castlerigg and Wythburn is a small, mainly rural parish in Cumberland, England, lying within the Lake District just to the south‑west of Keswick. The area covers pastoral valleys and moorland around Thirlmere reservoir and the famous Castlerigg stone circle, with dramatic fell views and a network of footpaths that attract walkers and photographers.
Its character mixes deep history - the Neolithic Castlerigg stone circle and the Victorian reshaping of the valley when Thirlmere was raised to supply Manchester - with a quiet contemporary economy of hill farming and Lakeland tourism; a handful of hamlets and a small church community give it a close‑knit, largely seasonal social life centred on outdoor recreation and conservation.
