Murton is a small rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, sitting on the eastern fringes of the Pennines and within easy reach of both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Its landscape of rolling pastures, dry‑stone walls and scattered farmsteads makes it popular with walkers and those seeking quieter countryside close to major fell country.
The local economy is still largely agricultural, with hill farming supplemented by holiday accommodation and outdoor recreation; traditional stone cottages and farm buildings hint at a long rural history, while a small, active community maintains village events, footpaths and local traditions.
