The historic Ninekirks, dedicated to St Ninian, is situated by the banks of the River Eamont and was extensively rebuilt by Lady Anne Clifford.
The village is named after the River Eamont and straddles the boundary between the ancient counties of Cumberland and Westmorland.
The boundaries are now partially marked by the Rivers Eamont and Lowther.
