Cliburn is a small rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, set in the gentle landscape of the Eden Valley alongside the meandering River Leith. Historically part of the county of Westmorland, the village retains a compact feel with a medieval church and several traditional farmhouses and a former manor house that hint at its long agricultural past; it lies within easy reach of the market town of Penrith and the hills of the Lake District National Park, which draw walkers and visitors to the area.
Economically the parish remains largely agricultural, with pasture and hill farming dominant, supplemented by a modest rural tourism trade and a number of residents who commute to nearby towns. Socially it is a close‑knit community that values its quiet lanes, hedgerows and heritage buildings, and local events and conservation efforts help maintain a strong sense of place.
