Kirkby Ireleth is a quiet, largely rural parish on the Furness peninsula in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, in England. It comprises a cluster of villages and hamlets including Kirkby-in-Furness, Ireleth and Soutergate, set between rolling farmland and the coast where views sweep out towards the Duddon Estuary and the Irish Sea, with the fells of the Lake District visible inland on clear days.
The area has a long rural and maritime history, historically tied to agriculture and the wider Furness industries, while today the local economy mixes farming with small businesses, tourism and commuters to nearby Barrow-in-Furness. Community life remains strong with village halls, pubs and local events, and the parish is popular with walkers and birdwatchers who enjoy coastal paths, quiet lanes and easy access to nearby hills.
