The civil parish of Hunsonby in Westmorland and Furness is a small, rural area that includes the village of Little Salkeld and surrounding farmland, lying close to Penrith in the Eden valley. The landscape is typically Cumbrian - rolling fields, stone-built farmhouses and lanes that lead towards the fells of the Pennines.
Despite its modest size the parish has interesting history and visitor appeal: the famous prehistoric stone circle Long Meg and Her Daughters sits nearby and attracts walkers and antiquarian interest, while the local economy remains largely agricultural with a steady trickle of tourism. Social life is quietly village-centred, with a parish council and community events, and the area retains a strong sense of historic Westmorland identity.
