Glassonby is a small, rural civil parish in Westmorland and Furness set in the gentle Eden Valley, not far from the River Eden and the market town of Penrith. The landscape is classic northern English countryside of rolling fields and limestone-built villages, with quiet lanes and good access to walking routes and the surrounding fells.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, and the community is compact with a strong village feel centred on traditional buildings and a village hall. The area has long human occupation - with prehistoric and Roman traces in the vicinity - and is close to notable antiquities such as Long Meg and Her Daughters, which draws visitors interested in archaeology and scenic countryside.
