Hartley is a small, largely rural civil parish within the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness on the Furness peninsula in north‑west England. It consists mainly of scattered farms and stone cottages linked by country lanes, with open fields and hedgerows; from higher ground there are views across Morecambe Bay towards the fells of the Lake District.
Historically agricultural with roots stretching back centuries, the area keeps a quietly villagey, close‑knit feel. The local economy still leans on small‑scale farming and rural tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston, and community life centred on local events and a handful of historic buildings rather than any large industry.
