Map of the UK

Burton-in-Kendal is a compact village and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, sitting on the southern fringe of the Lake District and within easy reach of the M6. Its stone-built streets, medieval roots and a historic parish church reflect a long settlement history and a past as a coaching and market community on routes through north-west England.

Today the area combines agriculture and small local businesses with a steady flow of visitors and commuters heading to Kendal and Lancaster. There is an active village life - pubs, a village hall and community groups - and the surrounding limestone countryside and conservation areas make it popular for walkers and those seeking a quieter base near the national park.
