Culgaith lies in the rolling countryside of Westmorland and Furness in north-west England, occupying part of the Eden Valley with open views towards the Pennines. The landscape is largely pastoral, with mixed farms, hedgerows and small woodlands, and the nearby River Eden and its becks sculpting low-lying farmland and attractive walking routes.
There is a strong village character centred on a historic parish church and an active community that stages village fêtes, supports local pubs and small enterprises, and welcomes walkers and cyclists. Historically agricultural, the area still relies on farming and rural tourism while many people commute to nearby market towns such as Penrith, giving the parish a blend of traditional and modern rural life.
