About

Howgate ward sits within the rural northern expanse of the Cumberland unitary authority area, characterised by its open farmland and scattered settlements. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields and grazing land, with the land rising toward the northern fells. The area includes the village of Kirkbride and is traversed by minor roads connecting isolated farmsteads.

A notable feature is the presence of the former Kirkbride Airfield, a large, level tract now used for industry and storage, which contrasts with the surrounding pastoral scenery. The ward is bounded by the River Waver to the east and overlooks the Solway Firth to the west, providing a distinct coastal margin to its primarily agricultural character.
