Great Strickland is a small rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, a few miles south of Penrith. Set among rolling farmland and hedgerows, the village lies close to the River Leith and is within easy reach of the Lake District, combining quiet agricultural landscapes with ready access to popular fell country.
Historically centred on small farms and manor houses, the community still has stone cottages and older buildings and a parish church, and local life is largely shaped by agriculture, a modest level of commuting to nearby towns and a small-scale rural economy. The area is popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter base near the fells, and social life tends to revolve around the village hall, church and occasional community events rather than shops or industry.
