Blawith and Subberthwaite is a small, sparsely populated rural parish in Westmorland and Furness on the western fringes of the Lake District in England. The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, scattered oak and mixed woodlands and commons, with a network of lanes and footpaths that make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers seeking quieter countryside away from busier tourist centres.
Historically agricultural, the area retains many traditional stone cottages and farmsteads and an economy still centred on sheep and beef farming alongside growing small-scale tourism such as holiday cottages and B&Bs. Social life tends to revolve around nearby villages and community events, while the parish’s tranquillity, open skies and access to hill and lowland walks are its main attractions for visitors and residents alike.
