Interesting facts about this location
Furness
Furness is a peninsula and region in south Cumbria, England. While the name originated strictly from to the peninsula only, it is also used to more broadly refer to the whole of North Lonsdale, that part of the Lonsdale hundred that is an exclave of the historic county of Lancashire, lying to the north of Morecambe Bay. As Lancashire and North Lonsdale are no longer administrative boundaries, the use of the word Furness for the whole area has increased.
