The small rural parish of Lowick sits on the Furness peninsula in Westmorland and Furness, in the far south‑west of England, close to the coast and the fringes of the Lake District National Park. The surrounding landscape is one of rolling pasture, hedgerows and traditional stone buildings, with views across nearby estuaries and the coastal plain.
Historically the community has agricultural roots with medieval origins and a compact village core centred on a parish church and longstanding farmsteads; 19th‑century industrial growth in nearby Barrow‑in‑Furness and the wider Furness area altered local employment patterns. Today it remains a quiet, small‑population place with active village life, an economy based on farming and rural services, and modest tourism from walkers and visitors exploring the fells and coast.
