Low Hesket is located on the A6 road 8½ miles south of the city of Carlisle. This is a former Roman road and a milestone from that era has been discovered there inscribed:"IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINO P F INV AVG" that expands to "Imperator Caesar Flavius Valerius Constantinus Pius Felix Invictus Augustus" dating it from the time of emperor Constantine I who ruled from 307 to 337 [ [http://www.roman-britain.org/places/wreay.htm#rib2288 Roman Britain website] ] .

Administratively, Low Hesket forms part of the civil parish of Hesket which, in turn, is part of the district of Eden.
