Hugill is a civil parish in Cumbria, England. Hugill includes the village of Ings and the hamlets of Grassgarth, and Reston plus a large part of the village of Staveley and the west bank of the River Kent north of Barley Bridge. It was formerly a part of the Barony of Kendal. In the 2001 census the parish had a population of 416,[2] increasing at the 2011 census to 446.[1] Approximately 60% of the population live in Staveley or the Kent valley.

The township lies on the Kendal and Windermere railway, 2 miles E of Windermere; and contains the hamlets of Ings, Grass-Garth, and BorwickFold. Reston Scar is a prominent feature in the valley.[3]
