Burgh by Sands is a civil parish in the Cumberland district in Cumbria, England.
The parish contains the villages of Burgh by Sands, Longburgh, Dykesfield, Boustead Hill, Moorhouse and Thurstonfield, and the surrounding countryside.
A feature of the parish it that some of the oldest surviving houses and farm buildings were built in clay (the houses are known as "dabbins" or "daubins"),[1] and many of them are listed.
During the 19th century the Carlisle Canal was built through the parish and, when this closed, its line was converted into the Port Carlisle Dock and Railway.
In addition, the listed buildings include a church, a former Friends' meeting house, a monument, and a public house.
