Tatham is a small rural civil parish in the district of Lancaster, county of Lancashire, England. Set on the eastern edge of the Forest of Bowland AONB, it comprises scattered hamlets such as Tatham Fells and Lowgill and is characterised by drystone walls, winding lanes and upland pastures with long views across the fells.
The local economy is largely agricultural, centred on sheep and cattle farming, but the area also attracts walkers and visitors who come for quiet lanes, historic stone farmsteads and open scenery; a few small craft and tourism enterprises supplement village life. Historic cottages, traditional barns and the parish church reflect centuries of rural settlement, and active conservation helps preserve the landscape and biodiversity prized by residents and visitors alike.
