King's Meaburn is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, tucked into the secluded valley of the River Lyvennet. The landscape is classic Eden valley country - rolling pasture, drystone walls and low limestone fells - that gives the area a quiet, agricultural character while keeping it within easy reach of larger market towns.
Historically the name marks a royal connection and the settlement shares a long rural past with its neighbour Maulds Meaburn, reflected in stone cottages and farmsteads. Today the parish economy is dominated by farming, with a steady interest from walkers and holiday‑makers enjoying lanes and footpaths; socially it retains a close‑knit community feel with local events and village life still at its heart.
