Bewaldeth and Snittlegarth is a civil parish in Cumbria, England, historically part of Cumberland. It lies north of Bassenthwaite Lake, in the Lake District and near its northern edge.

According to the 2001 census it had a population of 40 [1] who live in 1,534 acres (621 ha).[2] At the 2011 Census it was measured that the population was still less than 100.
