Sedbergh is a compact market town in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, England, sitting on the banks of the River Rawthey at the foot of the Howgill Fells. Its location on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park makes it a quiet gateway for walkers and hill‑goers, with rolling pastures and drystone walls giving the area a strong pastoral character rooted in sheep farming.
The town has a lively cultural side despite its size: it promotes itself as a book town with several independent second‑hand bookshops and hosts literary events, and it is home to the long‑established Sedbergh School, which shapes much of the local economy alongside tourism and agriculture. Stone streets, a market‑town feel and an active community scene mean Sedbergh retains a distinct historic charm tied to the old county of Westmorland.
