Lyth Valley
The Lyth Valley is on the edge of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England.
Until 2023, it gave its name to an electoral ward (one of 45 in South Lakeland). As a result of local government reorganisation in Cumbria, since 2023 it is part of the Westmorland and South Lakeland council area.
The valley is a U-shaped valley about 4 miles long and 1.5 miles wide, oriented in a roughly north-south direction. The River Gilpin, a tributary of the River Kent, runs through it, and the A5074 road runs through it from the village of Windermere towards southern destinations. There are no significant settlements in the valley.
The valley is sheltered by limestone hills and enjoys a relatively mild micro-climate for northern England. It is noted for its damson orchards.
