Strickland Ketel is a quiet, predominantly rural parish just south of Kendal in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north‑west England. It occupies gently rolling farmland and scattered hamlets along the lower slopes and the valley of the River Kent, with open views towards the Lake District fells; narrow lanes and public footpaths make it a pleasant area for walkers and those seeking a rural pace of life.
Historically part of the old county of Westmorland, the parish retains a strong agricultural character alongside a modest commuter presence into nearby Kendal and roles in the local tourism economy. Social life tends to centre on village halls, parish activities and traditional stone buildings, giving the area a sense of continuity and local identity rather than a single dominant centre.
