**Farleton** is a village and former [civil parish](/source/Civil_parish), now in the parish of [Beetham](/source/Beetham),[1] in the [Westmorland and Furness](/source/Westmorland_and_Furness) local government district, [Cumbria](/source/Cumbria), England. In 1931 the parish had a population of 67.[2]

Historically within the county of [Westmorland](/source/Westmorland), Farleton lies near [Milnthorpe](/source/Milnthorpe), just to the east of the main [A6070 road](/source/A6070_road), from which it is divided by the [Lancaster Canal](/source/Lancaster_Canal), some 8+1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) south of [Kendal](/source/Kendal). Farleton used to have one public house called 'the Duke' after the Grand Old Duke of York but this was turned into a dwelling house in the early part of the twentieth century. With Farleton there is a small river and one post box. There is also a limestone kiln and the remains of a limestone quarry.

Farleton was formerly a [township](/source/Township_(England)) in Beetham parish,[3] from 1866 Farleton was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished on 1 April 1935 and merged with Beetham.[4]
