Sedbergh is a town in Cumbria, with a population of 1500 in 2021. It's in the valley of the River Rawthey, which flows into the Lune two miles west. In Old English "setberg" means a flat-topped hill, and it's a base for walking the gritstone moors. In 2016 the Yorkshire Dales National Park was extended west to include Lonsdale, and now forms a continuous tract with the Lake District National Park.
