Crosby Ravensworth is a small, stone-built village and surrounding parish in Westmorland and Furness, set in the gentle pastures of the Eden Valley. The landscape is classic northern upland countryside, with drystone walls, scattered farms and clear becks, and provides good views towards the Howgill Fells and the Pennines, making it a pleasant base for walkers and those seeking a quiet rural setting.

Historically the area has long been agricultural and the village retains a number of listed buildings and a medieval church, reflecting its roots as a longstanding local community. Today farming remains important to the economy, supplemented by small-scale tourism and commuters to nearby market towns such as Appleby and Kirkby Stephen, while a lively parish life with local events and volunteer groups helps sustain a strong social fabric.
