Lawkland is a small, rural civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, sitting on the edge of the limestone country that blends into the Yorkshire Dales. The landscape is dominated by rolling pastures, drystone walls and scattered stone farmsteads, with quiet lanes and footpaths used by walkers exploring nearby scars and dales.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the local economy still revolves around sheep and beef farming, though many farms have diversified into holiday accommodation and small enterprises; the patchwork of medieval field patterns and old droving routes is still visible in the terrain. Socially it feels like a close-knit, sparsely populated community with an active interest in conserving its distinctive rural character.
