Carnforth is the type of place that everyone has heard of, and many want to uncover this hidden treasure because it is located just off the M6 and 20 miles south of the picturesque Lake District. Located in Morecambe Bay's northern tip, not far from Lancaster (a historic town) and within easy driving distance of the Lake District and the winding roads of the Yorkshire Dales. Greenlands Farm Village is another popular destination in the neighbourhood, with a garden centre, café, play area, and local crafts and products. Beautiful Morecambe Bay may be found immediately to the north of Carnforth, with its expansive tidal dunes.
