Meathop is a village in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. Historically in Westmorland, it is located 3.6 miles (5.8 km) north east of Grange over Sands, between the confluence of the River Kent estuary and the River Winster on the edge of Morecambe Bay.[1][2]
Westmorland Sanatorium, later known as Meathop Hospital, was a sanatorium for patients with tuberculosis. It opened in 1891 and closed in 1991 when it was converted into apartments and renamed as Meathop Grange.[3]
