The civil parish of Brougham sits in Westmorland and Furness just east of Penrith, occupying low-lying agricultural land where the River Eamont runs out of the Eden Valley towards the Lake District. Its proximity to the M6 and A66 gives easy access to larger towns while preserving a quiet, rural character marked by hedged fields and pleasant riverside walks.
History is very tangible here: the striking medieval ruins of Brougham Castle, the adjacent country house of Brougham Hall and nearby Roman fort remains speak to centuries of occupation. Today the local economy is largely agricultural with a modest tourism trade focused on heritage and outdoor pursuits, and the community remains small and closely knit.
