Kirkby Stephen and Tebay sit in Westmorland and Furness in northern England, tucked into the western edge of the Pennines. The landscape is a mix of sweeping fells and river valleys - notably the River Eden and the Howgill Fells nearby - which makes the area popular with walkers, cyclists and those tackling long-distance routes such as the Coast to Coast.

Kirkby Stephen is a traditional market town with stone-built streets, independent shops and a strong sense of local history around its parish church and market traditions, while Tebay is a smaller village and riverside community known for its family-run services beside the M6, agricultural ties and rail heritage. Both places depend on farming, tourism and small businesses, and benefit from active community groups that keep social and cultural life lively despite their rural setting.
