Pennington sits on the Furness peninsula within the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England, a few miles from Ulverston and looking towards the sands of Morecambe Bay. The parish is largely low‑lying farmland and marsh with hedged lanes and scattered farmsteads, offering easy access to coastal flats and the rolling countryside of Furness.
Historically part of Lancashire, the area retains strong agricultural roots while being within commuting distance of the industrial town of Barrow‑in‑Furness, so the local economy mixes farming with residents who work in nearby towns. There is a quiet, village‑scale community life centred on a few amenities and historic farm buildings, and it appeals to people who value rural tranquillity without being remote from services.
