The name Haverigg derives from Old Norse and can be translated as "the hill where oats are grown".[3]
Haverigg is at the mouth of the Duddon Estuary, a protected area important for birds and other wildlife. Haverigg has an extensive, quiet Blue Flag beach. There is also access to a seawall with a lighthouse which protects Hodbarrow Lagoon, part of Hodbarrow RSPB Reserve. The River Lazy flows through Haverigg and joins the estuary of the River Duddon here.[4]

An independent lifeboat station, Haverigg Inshore Rescue Team, has been based in the village since 1973 assisting those in difficulty around the Duddon coastline.[5]
