Burton-in-Kendal is a compact village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, England, sitting on the limestone edge between the lowlands and the fells. It lies close to the M6 and the Lancaster Canal, a handy spot midway on the road between Kendal and Lancaster, and it enjoys clear views towards the Lake District fells on a fine day.
Historically the village has a long rural past reflected in its stone buildings and parish church, and today combines farming traditions with a commuter and small-business population; pubs, a village hall and a primary school keep a lively local community. Conservation areas and listed buildings give it a distinctive character, and the canal and nearby walking routes make it popular with walkers and those exploring the surrounding countryside.
