Warcop is a small village and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, set in the broad Eden Valley on the eastern fringe of the Lake District and close to the North Pennines. It sits near the River Eden and commands open upland views towards Cross Fell and the higher ridges of the Pennines, making it popular with walkers and anyone wanting a quieter base for exploring the surrounding fells.
The settlement has a strong agricultural tradition, with sheep and hill farming still shaping the landscape and many traditional stone-built houses and a historic parish church giving the village a distinctly rural character. The nearby Warcop Training Area is a notable local presence, and the village once had a station on the Eden Valley Railway; today the economy mixes farming, a little heritage tourism and a close-knit community often looking to the market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland for services.
