Clifton is a small, rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, set among rolling farmland and stone-built lanes. It enjoys open views across the Eden Valley towards the fells of the Lake District and lies within easy reach of market towns such as Penrith, which provide local services and connections.
The community remains rooted in agriculture, with farms and traditional stone houses forming much of the built landscape, while a modest trickle of visitors and commuter residents supplement the local economy. Historic features and old farm buildings hint at a long rural past, and village life tends to centre on small local gatherings and amenities that reflect a close-knit, quiet countryside character.
