Bewaldeth and Snittlegarth is a civil parish in the Allerdale District of Cumbria, England on the edge of the Lake District. Until 1974 it was part of the county of Cumberland. According to the 2001 UK census it had a population of 40 who live in 1,534 acres (621 ha). At the 2011 UK census the population was still less than 100 and thus numbers are combined with the neighbouring parish of Ireby and Uldale. Settlements in the parish are Bewaldeth, High Bewaldeth and Snittlegarth.
