It lies about east of Kendal, north of Lancaster and about north of Kirkby Lonsdale, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park (the boundaries of which in this area follow those of the historic counties). It stands at the foot of Howgill Fells, on the north bank of the River Rawthey, which joins the River Lune below the town.
==Situation== thumb|Main Street Sedbergh has a narrow main street lined with shops. From all angles, the hills rising behind the houses can be seen. Until the coming of the Ingleton branch line in 1861, these remote places were reachable only by walking over some steep hills. Passenger services through Sedbergh railway station ran from 1861 to 1954.
