Old Hutton and Holmescales is a small, largely rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, set a few miles to the east of Kendal on the gentle fringe of the Lake District. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, scattered hamlets and traditional stone-built farmhouses with dry-stone walls, making it typical of the Westmorland countryside rather than a built-up settlement.
Locally the economy is centred on farming and small rural enterprises, with many residents also commuting to nearby towns; the parish has a quiet, close-knit community life with village events and country lanes and footpaths that attract walkers who appreciate the open views towards the surrounding fells. Historic farmsteads and the simple vernacular architecture give the place a strong sense of continuity with its agricultural past.
