Location and topography
Kaber township marker stone on the road to Tan Hill

The village is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south of Brough. Until the latest boundary changes Kaber was situated in the historic county of Westmorland.

The place-name 'Kaber' is first attested in the Register of the Priory of Wetherhal, circa 1195, where it appears as Kaberge. The name means 'jackdaw hill'.[3]

The northern boundary of the civil parish is formed by the River Belah which rises near Kaber Fell to the southeast and flows just north of the village en route to joining the River Eden.

The population taken at the 2011 Census was less than 100. Parish record details are maintained in the adjacent parish of Winton.

gollark: If you expect a mod with *general-purpose computers* to basically just offer random specific commands for your random specific (and under-detailed) usecases, you're doing it wrong.
gollark: Maybe not the item restocking one. I don't know how good the interfaces to AE2 or whatever are.
gollark: It's capable of it. You're using it wrong.
gollark: It can do all the stuff you mention, probably, if you have a lot of computers and I/O devices! But it requires someone, somewhere, to have put in work.
gollark: I guess in some sense that's "commands", but complicated fiddly ones.
