Upper Kent

About

Upper Kent ward covers a largely rural expanse in the eastern Lake District, characterised by its network of valleys and fells. The area includes the settlements of Staveley and Kentmere, with the River Kent flowing through the parish. Land use is dominated by agriculture and forestry, with scattered farms across the landscape. The terrain rises steeply towards the high fells that form its boundaries.

The ward contains the Kentmere Horseshoe, a challenging circular walk linking several summits. Staveley is a functional hub with railway station connections on the Windermere branch line. The remote Kentmere valley, accessible by a single road, features a historic church and the site of a medieval pele tower. This is a working landscape shaped by farming and quarrying industries.
