About

Burton and Holme ward encompasses a stretch of the Cumbrian coastline along Morecambe Bay, characterised by flat, open saltmarsh landscapes and expansive tidal sands. The area includes the villages of Burton-in-Kendal and Holme, with the latter situated inland near the M6 motorway. The terrain is largely agricultural, dominated by pastoral fields and hedgerows, with a network of minor roads connecting scattered farmsteads.

A significant feature is the shifting course of the River Keer as it approaches the bay. The ward's economy has traditional roots in farming and quarrying, with the coastal fringe forming part of the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Lancaster Canal also runs through the southern part of the ward, tracing a historical route across the low-lying land.
