It is situated on the river Ellen, in a hilly country not far from the sea-coast. Here is a station of the Maryport and Carlisle railway, which intersects the village. Included in the parish are the several townships of Aspatria with Brayton, Hayton with Melay, and Outerside with Allerby, and the small hamlet of Prospect."
