Helbeck is a small, sparsely populated civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, in the north of England. It sits on the edge of upland country and the Pennine fringes, characterised by rough pasture, drystone walls and quiet lanes that make it popular with walkers and those after wide, open views over the surrounding countryside.
Economically the parish is dominated by hill and sheep farming, with a handful of farms and estates and a modest contribution from holiday lets and rural tourism. Its history is visible in traditional stone buildings and field patterns, and social life is shaped by a small, close‑knit community relying on parish meetings and nearby market towns for services.
