Holme is a small, quietly rural parish in Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, sitting on the agricultural fringe of the Lake District. It’s characterised by rolling fields, traditional stone cottages and narrow lanes, with easy access to fells and lakes that attract walkers and visitors without overwhelming the local community.
Historically rooted in farming, the parish economy still leans on agriculture alongside a number of residents who commute to nearby market towns. Social life tends to centre on the village hall and church, and a handful of older farmhouses and boundary walls hint at its long rural history; tourism from the surrounding countryside brings some trade but the area maintains a low‑key, village atmosphere.
