Lupton is a linear village in the south of Westmorland, stretching along the main A65 road north-west of Kirkby Lonsdale, and some two and a half miles from the village of Hutton Roof.

While not housing a large number of residents, the Parish of Lupton is spread over a large land area, with many farms, with a recorded population of 162 at the 2011 Census.

The parish church, All Saints' Church, part of the Rainbow Parish has services every fortnight. Carol singers from the church visit village houses annually, and midnight mass is held on Christmas Eve.

Lupton's public house, the Plough, is a popular dining location, and is in keeping with the Lake District trend of such "gastropubs".

Lupton Tower is an 18th-century house which is now used as a corporate head office for a group of schools.
