Carnforth is a bustling market town
on the edge of the Lake District, on the Lancashire border with
Cumbria. Famous as a venue of the original film "Brief Encounter,"
it was once a major railway town, being the junction of 3 major
railroads to the North, East and West. The district has vast
areas of limestone pavement within the AONB, and a long standing
major industry has been quarrying. Catering for tourists to the
Lakes, Dales and Lancashire, Carnforth is well situated. Carnforth
Railway Station was opened in 1846 by the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway Company as a roadside "second class" station,
and was originally just a single platform. Kirkby Lonsdale is
10 miles away. Also see Carnforth
