The Furness Peninsula is steeped in heritage and culture. A must visit is Barrow’s Dock Museum. Telling the story of how the region rose to play a significant role in the industrial and defence future of Britain, the museum is also home to a wealth of local artefacts.
Meanwhile, nearby Furness Abbey is a fine example of Britain’s monastic past. The ruins are one of the most impressive in the UK with the on-site visitor centre housing centuries of historical artefacts.
For a memorable night out The Forum is the place to be, where from 2024, the venue has signed a three-year deal with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra to bring spectacular performances to the town.
This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and supported by Westmorland and Furness Council.
