Map of the UK

Langwathby is a quiet rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, set in the green bowl of the Eden Valley beside the meandering River Eden. The village is stone-built and traditionally agricultural, with riverside walks, a compact high street and a small community life centred on the village hall and a couple of pubs.

Historically a farming and market area, the parish benefits from good rail links via its station on the Settle–Carlisle line and is popular with walkers and visitors exploring nearby fells and market towns such as Penrith. Local interest focuses on the riverside setting, an old parish church, and the steady mix of farming, small-scale tourism and village services that sustain rural life.
