Apart from a milestone, the Troutbeck Roman sites and a boundary stone they are the only listed buildings on the old road from the east of Threlkeld village to Stainton just outside of Penrith, a distance of 11 miles.

Looking north and west from Hutton Moor End are uninterrupted views of Sharp Edge on Blencathra, Souther Fell, the vale of Keswick and Castlerigg Stone Circle.

Although Moor End's setting is in a wide open area unusually no towns or villages can be seen from it only small settlements and farms are visible.

To the north of the hamlet runs the river Glenderamackin and very near to the east of Hutton Moor End are the Troutbeck Roman temporary or marching camps proving the immediate area's importance as a transport corridor.

The Lake District National Park, which Hutton Moor End is a part of, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the Cultural landscape category in 2017.
