The civil parish of Catterlen sits in Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, a small rural area of rolling farmland and quiet lanes a few miles east of Penrith. It occupies part of the Eden Valley on the approaches to the Lake District, so the landscape mixes pastoral fields, hedgerows and views towards higher fells.
The community is small and largely agricultural, with mixed farming alongside a number of residents who commute to nearby towns; local history is marked by the old manor, Catterlen Hall, and a scattering of traditional farmsteads. Social life has a tight‑knit, village feel with occasional local events and easy access to the outdoor pursuits and visitor economy of the Eden Valley and Lakeland beyond.
