Ravenstonedale is a rural parish in Westmorland and Furness, England, tucked into the uplands where rolling pasture meets the eastern fringes of the Pennines and close to the headwaters of the River Lune. The landscape of limestone outcrops, dry‑stone walls and open fell makes it popular with walkers heading for the Howgill Fells or into the nearby Yorkshire Dales.
The village and surrounding hamlets retain a strong vernacular of stone houses and a historic parish church, and the local economy is still largely agricultural - sheep and beef farming - supplemented by holiday lets, small businesses and visiting walkers. Community life is quietly active, centred on village facilities and seasonal events, and the area wears clear traces of its past in old packhorse routes and rural industry, which appeals to visitors interested in countryside and local history.
