Musgrave is a small, predominantly rural parish in Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, historically lying within Westmorland and the former county of Cumbria. It is made up of a handful of stone-built hamlets and dispersed farms, with quiet lanes, drystone walls and a sparse population which gives the place a very rural, unhurried character.
The local economy is largely agricultural, centred on sheep and cattle farming, and the built environment reflects that heritage with traditional barns and a few listed buildings hinting at medieval origins. Social life is modest and community-focused, often organised around parish meetings and village events, while the surrounding open countryside attracts walkers and those seeking views toward the Pennines and the quieter fringes of the Lake District.
