Sedbergh is a small market town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, in north‑west England. It sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, tucked beneath the rounded slopes of the Howgill Fells and straddling the River Rawthey, so it’s a well‑used base for walkers, cyclists and anyone exploring the fells.
Locally famous as a book town, Sedbergh supports several independent bookshops, cafes and an active arts scene, and its economy mixes tourism with traditional hill farming; the presence of the historic independent Sedbergh School also helps shape the town’s character. There’s a strong community life, with seasonal agricultural shows, festivals and a steady flow of visitors drawn by the scenery, local food and the town’s market heritage.
