Culgaith is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in northern England, set in the broad, agricultural sweep of the River Eden valley. It sits between Penrith and Appleby-in-Westmorland, with the Pennines and the Lake District within easy reach, and retains a cluster of stone cottages and a parish church that hints at medieval origins.
Traditionally a farming community, Culgaith now combines agriculture with some commuter households and modest rural tourism for walkers and cyclists, while village life is sustained by a village hall, local events and an active parish community. The place feels quietly historic but lived-in, a good example of an Eden valley settlement that has kept its rural character while adapting to modern pressures.
