Map of the UK

The civil parish of Hutton Roof sits in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, a small rural community a few miles from Kirkby Lonsdale and within easy reach of Kendal. It is best known for the nearby Hutton Roof Crags, a classic limestone pavement and SSSI that draws walkers, botanists and birdwatchers to its karst scenery, and for the patchwork of pasture, dry stone walls and scattered farmsteads that give the area its upland farming character.

Historically part of the old county of Westmorland, the parish maintains a largely agricultural economy supplemented by tourism and outdoor recreation. A small population, stone cottages and a quiet village atmosphere underpin a close‑knit rural social life, while the conservation importance of the crags and surrounding habitats adds a distinctive cultural and natural heritage interest.
