Kentmere sits in a tucked-away valley of the south-eastern Lake District in Westmorland and Furness, England. Surrounded by grassy fells such as Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell, the area is best known to walkers for the classic Kentmere Horseshoe ridge circuit; a small reservoir and wet meadows give the valley a quietly pastoral, almost remote feel.
Historically the community has relied on hill farming and small-scale quarrying, and the landscape is still marked by stone-built farms and drystone walls. Today the local economy blends agriculture with tourism - holiday cottages, walkers and fell-running events bring visitors - while a small, tight-knit population preserves local traditions and countryside conservation within the historic bounds of Westmorland.
