Allithwaite is a small village in Cumbria, England, located roughly 1.2 miles (1.9 km) West of Grange-over-Sands. Most of its residents commute to local areas of Ulverston, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal or Lancaster to work. Historically in Lancashire, Allithwaite, and the village of Cartmel situated to the north, are part of the civil parish of Lower Allithwaite. At the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 1,758.
There is a small primary school, Allithwaite Primary C of E School located next to the church. St. Mary's Church, along with Allithwaite Primary C of E School, was built by a legacy left to the village. The village also has two pubs, a post office, a children's playground and a reasonably sized playing field with a tennis court and a bowling green.
A mile to the south, Wraysholme Tower is a 15th-century pele tower, used as a barn and cow-house, adjoining a 19th-century farmhouse.[1]
