Dalton-in-Furness, an old town, can be found in a valley on the section of the Furness Peninsula that juts out into Morecambe Bay. Dalton, the former county seat of Furness, now boasts a wide variety of excellent dining and drinking establishments. A Victorian drinking fountain, the market cross, and stone slabs used to cure fish in the 19th century are just a few of the noteworthy buildings that surround the town's central square. Dalton Castle, a pele tower built some time in the 14th century, was once a haven of refuge for the monks of adjacent Furness Abbey, a remarkable sandstone ruin set in a calm forested valley. South Lakes Wild Animal Park, the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world (near Ulverston), and the Haventhwaite Steam Railway (which travels to Lakeside, where you can catch a steam train to Bowness or Ambleside) are all within easy driving distance of the town. The beautiful Cartmel, Holker Hall, and Grizedale Forest are just a short drive to the north of Dalton-in-Furness, in the Duddon Valley. Located at the border of Lake District National Park, this area is perfect for hikers, bicyclists, and beachgoers.
