The small rural parish of Little Strickland sits in Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, set amid the rolling farmland of the Eden Valley on the fringes of the Pennines. Its cluster of stone houses, farmsteads and a modest parish church give it a quiet, well‑preserved character, with straightforward road links to Penrith and neighbouring Great Strickland.
Historically centred on agriculture, the local economy is still largely farming‑based though many residents commute to nearby towns; the community retains a close‑knit feel with parish events and a simple village social life. The attractive lanes and surrounding countryside draw walkers and those after tranquillity rather than busy tourist infrastructure, so the parish remains largely residential and rural in character.
