Map of the UK

Lower Allithwaite is a civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, sitting on the eastern fringe of the Lake District where rolling farmland meets the tidal plains of Morecambe Bay. The landscape is shaped by the valley of the River Leven and scattered villages, most notably Cartmel and Allithwaite, giving wide views to both coast and fells.

Historically centred on the medieval priory at Cartmel, the area combines traditional agriculture with a buoyant visitor economy: attractions such as Cartmel Racecourse and the renowned restaurant L'Enclume have put the parish on the map for food and events, while cobbled lanes, local markets and a strong community spirit preserve its distinctive Lakeland character.
