Crackenthorpe is a tiny, quietly rural parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, a few miles from Appleby-in-Westmorland. Set in the gentle lowlands of the Eden Valley with the Pennines rising nearby, it’s characterised by limestone fields, dry-stone walls, narrow lanes and a scattering of stone farmhouses and cottages.
Historically agricultural, the parish still revolves around farming but has a modest mix of holiday lets and rural residences that attract walkers and those seeking countryside tranquillity. The community is small and close-knit, with the area’s quiet charm and historic field patterns reflecting centuries of rural life rather than any large commercial centre.
