Ulverston is a market town situated on the Furness Peninsula, eight miles north-east of Barrow-in-Furness and four miles south of the Lake District. Ulverston's most prominent landmark is Hoad Monument, a concrete structure built in 1850 to commemorate statesman and local resident Sir John Barrow. The monument is open to the public and provides views of the surrounding area, including Morecambe Bay and parts of the Lake District. The Ulverston Canal was once an important aspect of the town's economy, however, it is no longer navigable but still great to walk along.
Situated on the A590, it's straightforward to reach from Jct 36 of the M6 and links to many other popular destinations. There is a train station in Ulverston which links to the West Coast mainline at Lancaster, so guests visiting from other regions can reach the area with ease by train too.
