Holme is a small, rural village in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, sitting in the gentle lowlands between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay. It retains a quietly historic character, with stone cottages and farm buildings that reflect its long agricultural past and a compact village centre often centred on a local hall or pub.
Economically and socially the place is typical of the area: farming still shapes the landscape, but many residents commute to nearby towns and the village benefits from visitors using it as a base for walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside. The community is small and close‑knit, with local events and conservation of traditional buildings helping to preserve a strong sense of place.
