Kirkbride is a village and civil parish in Cumbria in the north west of England. The civil parish population at the 2011 census was 489. Significant remains of ancient history are close to Kirkbride including the Kirkbride Roman fort and Hadrian's Wall some miles to the north. Hadrian's Wall in this western reach and the Kirkbride fort were originally of turf and timber construction due to the paucity of available stone in this part of England around the Solway Plain; the Wall was later rebuilt in stone.
