Barrow-in-Furness is a small post-industrial town at the end of a
long peninsula in the north of England. Its isolated location has
produced a stalwart and close population. It started life as a
small hamlet and grew to become an industrial leader, first in iron
and steel and later in ship-building and engineering, drawing a
workforce from all over the country. The ship-building industry
continues to be a major employer but today there is less diversity
than in Barrow's heyday. Although the town is known for its
industry, it sits in one of the most beautiful areas of Cumbria. It
boasts a rich heritage and spectacular views to the Lake District
and across Morecambe Bay and, surrounded on three sides by the sea,
it enjoys its own temperate climate. Furness Abbey was a great
influence on the area in the medieval period and there are castles,
churches, monuments and memories just waiting to be discovered by
the unsuspecting visitor.
