Carrshield is surrounded by beautiful fell ground and is littered with old disused mines.

Remnants of the old stone works where the lead was mined are still able to be seen next to the river.

There are no shops in Carrshield; the Post Office closed down because of lack of business.

Carrshield has numerous farms surrounding it, including a Stud and Rehabilitation Centre for horses.
