Melmerby is a small, rural parish in Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, tucked into the northern fringes of the Eden Valley and within easy reach of the Lake District fells. It sits a few miles south of the market town of Penrith and not far from Shap, giving a quiet, accessible base between upland scenery and lowland farmland.
The parish is characterised by rolling fields, dry‑stone walls and stone cottages, with an economy long rooted in hill and sheep farming but increasingly supporting walkers and cycle visitors who come for the local lanes and footpaths. Historic farmsteads and a small parish church reflect its Westmorland past, and community life tends to be close‑knit with occasional village events rather than any busy commercial centre.
