Brigsteer is a village in the south of Westmorland, at the edge of the Lyth Valley on its west and climbing the scarp slope of Helsington Barrows to its east. The broad meadows of the valley, which conduct the River Pool and River Gilpin south to the head of the Kent Estuary, thus stretch out to the west, while in the other direction, Kendal stands three miles to the north-east over the fell.

On 1 August 2016, the village found itself within the extended bounds of the Lake District National Park.
