Broughton East is a small, largely rural civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, in the north‑west of England. It sits among farmland, lanes and small villages on the southern fringes of the Lake District and close to the salt marshes and shores of Morecambe Bay, giving a mix of coastal and low‑fell scenery.
Historically agricultural with a scattering of stone farmsteads and a few listed buildings, the community retains a quiet, village feel with parish events and village halls at its heart. The local economy is still shaped by farming while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Ulverston and Barrow-in-Furness, and the area is popular with walkers and birdwatchers who enjoy the nearby footpaths and coastal habitats.
