The LA6 postcode district covers Bentham & Ingleton, Upper Lune Valley, Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale, Halton-with-Aughton & Kellet, close to Wennington, Low Bentham, High Bentham, and surrounding villages in parts of Lancashire and North Yorkshire.

115 postcodes in the LA6 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 70 high, 20 medium, 25 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
