Slack Head, sometimes written Slackhead,[1] is a hamlet near Beetham, Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, England.[2] It is in Beetham civil parish.[1] It is a purely residential area, with a postbox as its only facility. It is the location of a small shrine to Saint Lioba (or Leoba) built into a wall.[3] The Fairy Steps, a natural staircase in a limestone crag, lie in woodland to the northwest of the hamlet.[4]
