Temple Sowerby is a small village and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, set in the gentle farmland of the Eden Valley on the A6 between Penrith and Appleby-in-Westmorland. It sits within easy reach of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, so it attracts walkers and visitors looking for quieter countryside beyond the busier tourist spots.
The village has a handsome main street of stone houses and several Georgian buildings, and its name recalls medieval connections with the Knights Templar. Farming remains important to the local economy, complemented by small businesses, inns and holiday lets, while a village hall, primary school and regular community events help maintain a lively social life.
