Frizington is a village in Cumbria, England, historically part of Cumberland, near the Lake District National Park.
Historically, it was a collection of farms and houses but became a unified village as a result of the mining (both coal and iron ore) opportunities in the area.
It lies by road 4.9 miles (ca. 8 km) east of Whitehaven, 38.2 miles (ca. 61 km) southwest of Carlisle and 44.4 miles (ca. 71 km) north of Barrow-in-Furness.
The name as a whole means 'tūn of Frisa' or 'of Frisa's people'" ('tūn' is Old English for 'homestead', 'village'; OE 'Frīsa' means 'the Frisian').
