Barrow-in-Furness Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cumbria (although historically in Lancashire), and around 60 miles south, and slightly west, of Carlisle, is the town of Barrow-in-Furness, sometimes referred to as Barrow for short.
The name 'Barrow-in-Furness' can be traced back to 1190 when it was recorded as 'Barrai'. The 'in-Furness' suffix refers to the Furness Peninsula of south Cumbria, which was historically an exclave of Lancashire up until 1974.
During the medieval era, Barrow-in-Furness was a small hamlet under the control of Furness Abbey. This was once the second-wealthiest and most powerful Cistercian monastery in the country, behind Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. In 1537 Furness Abbey was destroyed as part of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries.
By the year 1800 Barrow was still an isolated agricultural hamlet comprising of no more than a dozen houses. This would change dramatically in the decades that were to follow. The Furness peninsula had already established an iron ore mining industry by the 18th century. In 1839 industrialist Henry Schneider came to Barrow with the intention of mining for local iron ore.
In 1846 the Furness Railway opened as a means of transporting both goods and passengers between the surrounding settlements. The burgeoning industry received a significant boost in 1850 when Henry Schneider discovered large deposits of haematite - a type of iron ore with a high iron content.
Around the same time, shipbuilding began in Barrow-in-Furness as a parallel industry, utilising the sheltered strait between Barrow and Walney Island as the shipyard's location. The first ship to be built was the Jane Roper, which launched in 1852. Meanwhile, the Furness Railway was being extended east during this time, reaching the town of Ulverston by 1854.
Between 1863 and 1881 Barrow's docks were built. To this day the Port of Barrow, as it is known, consists of four docks: Buccleuch Dock, Cavendish Dock, Devonshire Dock and Ramsden Dock.
In 1871 the Barrow Shipbuilding Company was established by industrialist James Ramsden, who would play a key role in the town's growth. In 1873 it launched its first ship, the steam yacht Aries. Over the next ten years the company built more than 100 ships, including several naval vessels. In 1886 it began to build submarines. The shipyard today is owned by BAE Systems Submarines who are headquartered right here in Barrow-in-Furness.
On the iron ore side of industry in Barrow, Henry Schneider founded an ironworks in 1857. This was followed in the decades to come by a series of steelworks. At its peak, around 1876, Barrow boasted the largest steelworks in the world. By 1963, however, Barrow's ironworks was forced to close as its iron ore deposits had dwindled. The steelworks eventually followed suit, ceasing production in the 1980s.
During the Second World War, Barrow-in-Furness was targeted by the German Luftwaffe in an effort to disrupt its shipbuilding industry. 83 people were killed and around 11,000 houses in the area were damaged.
In 1974 the historical counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, along with the Furness Peninsula of Lancashire, merged to form the ceremonial county of Cumbria. Since then, Barrow has been the largest town in Cumbria, and the second largest settlement behind Carlisle.
Barrow-in-Furness is represented in sport by Barrow A.F.C. Founded in 1901, they play their home games at Holker Street to the north of the town centre.
Dave Myers, one half of the Hairy Bikers duo, was born and raised in Barrow-in-Furness.

map of North West England
North West England is one of the best and most popular of nine official regions of England and consists of the administrative counties of #1 ranked Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside. The North West had a population of 7,052,000 in 2011. It is the third-most-populated region in the United Kingdom, after the South East and Greater London. The largest settlements are Manchester and Liverpool. North West England is bounded to the east by the Pennines and to the west by the Irish Sea. The region extends from the Scottish Borders in the north to the West Midlands region in the south. To its southwest is North Wales. Amongst the better known of the North West's physiographical features are the Lake District and the Cheshire Plain. The highest point in North West England (and the highest peak in England) is Scafell Pike, Cumbria, at a height of 3,209 feet (978 m).
Windermere is the largest natural lake in England, while Broad Crag Tarn on Broad Crag is England's highest lake. Wast Water is England's deepest lake, being 74 metres deep.
A mix of rural and urban landscape, two large conurbations, centred on Liverpool and Manchester, occupy much of the south of the region. The north of the region, comprising Cumbria and northern Lancashire, is largely rural, as is the far south which encompasses parts of the Cheshire Plain and Peak District.
The region includes parts of three National parks (all of the Lake District, and small parts of the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales) and three areas of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (all of Arnside and Silverdale and the Solway Coast, and almost all of the Forest of Bowland The North West is generally regarded as having the most average weather in the UK. Temperatures are generally close to the national average. Cumbria usually experiences the most severe weather, with high precipitation in the mountainous regions of the Lake District and Pennines. In winter, the most severe weather occurs in the more exposed and elevated areas of the North West, once again mainly the Lake District and Pennine areas.
Parts of the North West experienced a White Christmas in 2009, and again in 2010, where sleet and snow fell on December 25.
The A635 was closed for almost a month in January 2010 due to high amounts of snowfall.

Furness Abbey
Furness Abbey, or St. Mary of Furness is a former monastery located to the north of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. The abbey dates back to 1123 and was once the second-wealthiest and most powerful Cistercian monastery in the country, behind only Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire.[2]
Founded in 1123 by Stephen, Count of Boulogne,[1] it was built originally for the Order of Savigny.[3] Located in the 'Vale of Nightshade', south of Dalton-in-Furness, the abbey is built entirely out of local sandstone. It passed in 1147 to the Cistercians, who gradually enlarged and rebuilt the original ornate church. The majority of the current ruins date from the 12th and 13th centuries. By the 15th century, it had been completely re-modelled and had become the second richest and most powerful - as well as one of the grandest - Cistercian Abbeys in England, behind Fountains Abbey.[2] The gothic-style monastery and its adjacent structures cover an expansive area of land and reach a maximum height of 40 metres (131 ft) above ground level.[4]
The monks of the abbey were large landowners, and the most powerful body in what was then a remote border territory. In particular, they were heavily influential on the Isle of Man. One of the kings of Mann and the Isles is buried at the abbey, as are many of the Bishops of Sodor and Man. Rushen Abbey on the Isle was built on land owned by the monks.[5] They also owned mines on the island, and built Piel Castle to control trade between the Furness Peninsula and the Isle of Man. Being about 70 miles down the coast from Scotland, the monks occasionally found themselves in between the regularly warring Scots and English. When Robert the Bruce invaded England, during The Great Raid of 1322, the abbot paid to lodge and support him, rather than risk losing the wealth and power of the abbey.
The Abbey was disestablished and destroyed in 1537 during the English Reformation under the order of Henry VIII.
There are also many stories and sightings claiming that Furness Abbey is haunted. There are at least three ghosts which have supposedly been seen numerous times at the Abbey. Firstly, it is said that the spirit of a monk has been seen climbing a staircase and also possibly walking towards the gatehouse before vanishing into a wall.[9] Another sighting is that of a squire's daughter. She was known to meet her lover at the ruined abbey after the Reformation, although one day her partner took a journey out to sea from which he never returned.[9] It is thought that the girl went back to the Abbey every day until her death to the site she and her partner once loved; the track she walked is today still known as My Lady's Walk.[9] There have also been many sightings of a white lady, although due to possible conflicting stories, it is unclear whether the White Lady and the ghost of the squire's daughter are the same person or not. Possibly the most famous ghost of Furness Abbey is a headless monk on horseback, who rides underneath the sandstone arch near the Abbey Tavern; the death of this individual is linked to an invasion by the Scots in 1316.[9]
A tunnel is said to run underneath the Abbey to both Piel Castle and Dalton Castle, allowing the monks to receive supplies and keep watch upon the local settlements. It has also been rumoured that the Holy Grail and King John's missing jewels are actually hidden somewhere inside the 'Ley tunnel'.[10]

Ulverston Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Cumbria (although historically in Lancashire), and around 50 miles south, and slightly west, of Carlisle, is the town of Ulverston.
The name 'Ulverston' is derived from an old Norse family name Úlfarr meaning ‘wolf warrior’ and tun meaning ‘farm’ or ‘homestead’. It is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Ulvrestun'. A market charter was granted to the town in 1280 by Edward I.
In 1537 Furness Abbey, near the neighbouring town of Dalton-in-Furness to the east, was destroyed during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. Following this, Ulverston became the administrative centre of the Furness region. It would benefit from its location on the main trade route linking Furness to the Cartmel peninsula across Cartmel Sands.
In 1795 architect John Rennie, who would later become known for designing Waterloo Bridge in London, constructed the Ulverston Canal. This connected the town with the Irish Sea and provided it with a port. Further to this, Ulverston became the starting point for steamers to Liverpool, passenger ships to Scotland and London and for cargoes exporting copper slates and linen around the world. Consequently, the population of Ulverston doubled between 1801 and 1841.
In 1846, following the discovery of significant deposits of iron ore in Barrow-in-Furness to the west, the Furness Railway opened, and by 1854 it had reached Ulverston. This was a precursor to the town's present railway station which opened in 1857. It is situated on the Furness Line running between Lancester and Barrow-in-Furness. The arrival of the railway would render the Ulverston Canal obsolete. It was still used commercially up until the First World War, but was officially abandoned at the end of the Second World War.
In 1974 the historical counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, along with the Furness Peninsula of Lancashire, merged to form the ceremonial county of Cumbria. Since then, Ulverston has been part of the South Lakeland district of Cumbria.
Today Ulverston is a popular base for visitors wishing to explore not only the Lake District to the immediate north, but the town itself which retains much of its old architecture with very few modern buildings blighting the views. As can be seen at the end of the walk, it is the starting point of the Cumbria Way. This is a public footpath around 70 miles long leading all the way to Carlisle, taking in some mountain and lakeside scenery along the way via the Lake District.
In 1890 Stan Laurel was born in Ulverston. After moving to America, he teamed up with Oliver Hardy in the 1920s to form arguably the most famous comedy double act of all time - Laurel and Hardy. A number of homages to the duo can be seen around Ulverston including a statue outside Coronation Hall and a museum on Brogden Street.

My Super-cheap Trip on the Cumbrian Coast and Furness Lines with Northern Trains.
The third and final part of my bargain rail fare videos with Northern trains. This actually covers the whole of the Cumbrian Coast line from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness PLUS the Furness line from Barrow-in-Furness down to Lancaster. I'll show you some of the scenery, we'll have a look at the train for the first part (a class 156) and I'll let you know how much I paid for both these trips.
Thanks very much for watching.

Furness Abbey
Furness Abbey
Founded almost 900 years ago, Furness Abbey was once the largest and wealthiest monastery in north-west England. A place of prayer, piety and pilgrimage, the abbey was also a major landowner, its abbot occupying an important place in the administration of the region.
Today, Furness has some of the finest monastic ruins in England. Its buildings are witnesses to the lives of the monks who worshipped and lived there between the 12th and early 16th centuries.
