Brough is a small, largely rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, sitting where the low Pennines give way to open moorland beside the historic Stainmore route. The settlement lies close to the A66, with wide pastoral views and easy access for walkers and cyclists exploring the surrounding hills and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Despite its modest size, Brough has a rich past: the site of the Roman fort known as Verterae and later a medieval market community, it grew on farming and transport links and retains that rural character today. Local life still revolves around agriculture, small businesses and outdoor tourism, while heritage interests - old railway routes and Roman remains - add a distinctive historic flavour.
