Warcop is a small stone-built village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in north-west England, set in the broad Eden Valley on the western edge of the Pennines. Traditionally part of the old county of Westmorland, the village sits near Appleby-in-Westmorland and within easy reach of Penrith, offering classic Cumbrian scenery with rolling farmland, dry-stone walls and views across the River Eden towards the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Warcop has a quiet rural character shaped by hill farming and a growing countryside tourism trade - walkers, cyclists and holiday cottages are common - while an important local feature is the nearby Ministry of Defence training area on the fells, which gives the locality an unusual military history alongside its agricultural roots. The village retains a close-knit community feel with a parish church, village amenities and occasional local events that reflect its long rural traditions.
