Farleton is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Beetham,[1] in the South Lakeland local government district, Cumbria, England. In 1931 the parish had a population of 67.[2]
Historically within the county of Westmorland, Farleton lies near Milnthorpe, just to the east of the main A6070 road, from which it is divided by the Lancaster Canal, some 8+1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) south of Kendal. Farleton used to have one public house called 'the Duke' after the Grand Old Duke of York but this was turned into a dwelling house in the early part of the twentieth century. With Farleton there is a small river and one post box. There is also a limestone kiln and the remains of a limestone quarry.
Farleton was formerly a township in Beetham parish,[3] from 1866 Farleton was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished on 1 April 1935 and merged with Beetham.[4]
