The small rural parish of Staveley-in-Cartmel sits on the Cartmel Peninsula within the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, on the southern fringe of the Lake District near Cartmel and Grange-over-Sands. The landscape is typical of the area: rolling pasture and hedgerows, pockets of deciduous woodland, limestone outcrops and narrow lanes lined with stone-built cottages that give the place a distinctly rural character.
Historically agricultural, the local economy now combines farming with tourism and small-scale local services, while some residents commute to nearby towns such as Kendal. Proximity to the priory and racecourse at Cartmel and to quieter walking routes on the Lake District fringe means the parish attracts visitors seeking country walks and traditional village life, and the community remains small and close-knit with occasional local events that reflect its rural heritage.
