Your guide to Tebay

Tebay is a small village beneath the Howgills, shaped by farming, railways and the motorway, and positioned between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

The surrounding Lune Gorge creates a dramatic natural corridor through the hills. Tebay’s history reflects movement through that landscape, from older tracks and railways to the M6, while the nearby farm shop and services have become known for local food.

The village is a useful base for the Howgills, Orton, Ravenstonedale and journeys between north and south Cumbria. It offers a more authentic upland stop than a simple motorway break suggests.
