Lupton is a small rural civil parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north-west England. Tucked into the Lune Valley a few miles from market towns such as Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal, it comprises scattered farms and residences across rolling pasture and pockets of woodland, with views towards the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District fells.
Historically agricultural, the parish retains a tight-knit community and many old farmsteads and estate features; the local economy remains centred on hill and dairy farming, supplemented by rural businesses and some visitor trade. Quiet lanes, access to riverside paths by the River Lune and proximity to larger market towns make it popular with walkers and those seeking a peaceful base close to bigger centres.
