About

Eamont and Shap ward covers a significant rural area in the eastern part of the Westmorland and Furness unitary authority. The landscape is characterised by the lowland valley of the River Eamont, which flows from Ullswater, and the high, open moorland of Shap Fell. This creates a clear geographical division within the ward, from agricultural land to exposed upland.

The settlement pattern is dispersed, with the villages of Shap, Clifton, and Hackthorpe as focal points. The area is traversed by major transport routes, including the M6 motorway and the West Coast Main Line railway, which cross the challenging terrain of Shap Summit. The presence of the prehistoric Shap Stone Avenue marks a long human history in this transitional landscape between the Lake District fells and the Pennines.
