Cargo Farm in the parish

Kingmoor is a civil parish in the Cumberland district of Cumbria, England, to the north west of Carlisle city centre. At the 2011 census it had a population of 735.[1]

The parish is bordered in the south and west by the River Eden, across which lies the parish of Beaumont; it is also bordered by Rockcliffe in the north, and Stanwix Rural and the unparished area of Carlisle in the east and south.[2]

The parish includes the villages of Cargo, Crindledyke and Stainton.[3]

The parish used to be larger and included the present day Carlisle suburbs of Kingstown, Moorville, Newfield and Lowry Hill. The Kingstown Industrial Estate lies partially within the parish. A large part of the parish used to be RAF Carlisle, most of which has now become the various Kingmoor Park business parks.[citation needed]

There is a parish council, the lowest tier of local government.[4][3]
