Plasketlands is a small settlement in the civil parish of Holme St. Cuthbert[1] in Cumbria, United Kingdom.

Carlisle, Cumbria's county town, is twenty-four miles away to the north-east.

The name Plasketlands comes from the Old English plashet, meaning "a fence of living wood".

It was historically spelled several different ways, including Plassegaytt, Plaskitlands, Plascade-lands, and Plesketh Landes.

[3] Evidence of settlement at Plasketlands goes back thousands of years.
