Burton and Holme is a largely rural ward in Westmorland and Furness, made up of small villages and hamlets tucked into rolling farmland on the southern edge of the Lake District fringe. The area is notable for its stone-built cottages, parish churches and quiet lanes that give a strong sense of local history and landscape, with limestone outcrops and hedgerow-rich fields shaping the look and feel of the place.
Locally the economy remains rooted in agriculture and small‑scale local businesses, while many residents commute to larger centres within easy reach for work and services. Community life is lively for the size of the ward, centred on village halls, inns and seasonal events, and the setting makes it popular with walkers and people wanting a rural base not far from towns such as Kendal and Lancaster.
