	Furness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the detached part of the traditional county of Lancashire, lying to the north of Morecambe Bay (it is sometimes known as Lancashire, north of the sands or "Lancashire over the water").
		Historically the area is a detached part of the traditional county of Lancashire bordering Cumberland to the north-west and Westmorland to the north-east (see Three Shire Stone).
		It is known as "Lancashire beyond the sands [of Morecambe Bay]" or "north of the sands" or "over the sands" as in Grange-over-Sands.

	The Genoot Library - Topigraphical Dictionary of England - Lewis, 1831 - Lancashire
		An appeal from the chancery of Lancashire lies to the duchy chamber at Westminster, and from that to the king in parliament.
		The air of Lancashire, though everywhere pure and salubrious, is much more cold and piercing in the elevated mountainous tracts of the north and east, than in the vallies formed by them, and in the lower districts which shelve to the south and west, where it is generally mild and genial.
		The rivers and streams of Lancashire are very numerous, the Mersey, the Ribble, and the Lune, or Loyne, are its largest rivers; and next to these in magnitude are the Irwell, the Douglas, the Wyer, the Leven, the Crake, and the Dudden, all of which to some extent are navigable.

	Lancashire
		Lancashire, a maritime and northern county, bounded on the N by Cumberland and Westmorland, on the E by Yorkshire, on the S by Cheshire, and on the W by the Irish Sea.
		The commerce of Lancashire is necessarily very great, in connection with its numerous manufactures, and it possesses additional magnitude in connection with the imports and exports of a very large circle of the NW of England, particularly much of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Westmorland, and Yorkshire, and most of Staffordshire and Warwickshire.
		The territory now forming Lancashire was inhabited by the Brigantes and the Volantii; was included by the Romans in their province of Maxima Cæsariensis, and in the 6th century was the scene of various conflicts between the Britons and the Saxons.

	BBC Inside Out - The River Leven
		The River Leven flows from the south Lake District to the sea at Morecambe Bay.
		The problem with the Leven is that the quality of the water, at certain times of the year, is so poor that it can't sustain life.
		Studies have shown that the nearby River Kent, which is a similar river to the Leven but doesn't have Windermere as its feed, has recorded 8,000 salmon and trout this year.

	Lakes of Lancashire
		The whole of the Furness peninsula, Morecombe Bay, with its glittering water and fatal sands, the estuaries of the Duddon, Leven, and Kent, Walney Island in the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, and a long line of coast broken by capes and promontories, are seen.
		From the river the fair and fertile lands of Lancashire and Cumberland stretch on each side from its margin in hill and dale and stream till they are lost in the heights of Black Combe and the high lands between Kirkby and Ulverston.
		The traveller is thus conducted at once into the midst of the wild and beautiful scenery which gave occasion to the sonnets from the 14th to the 20th inclusive.

	Lancashire and the History of Lancashire
		The principal rivers are the Mersey, Irwell, Ribble, Lune, Leven, Wyre, Hodder, Roche, Duddon, Winster, Kent, and Calder, and it has two considerable lakes, Windermere and Coniston Water.
		During the Iron Age the lands now known as Lancashire were part of the territory of a loose confederation of ancient Celtic tribes known as the Brigantes, including the Setantii, who lived along the Fylde Coast of Lancashire, and the Carvetii who occupied lands around Carlisle.
		The lands between the River Ribble and the River Mersey, (which would eventually become the Salford Hundred), were granted to Roger de Poitou.

	Lakes
		Lakes are common in formerly glaciated regions, along the courses of slow rivers, and in low land near the sea.
		The main classifications are by origin: glacial lakes, formed by glacial scouring such as those in the Lake District and the Scottish Lochs; barrier lakes, formed by landslides and glacial moraines; crater lakes, found in volcanoes; and tectonic lakes, occurring in natural fissures.
		The River Tummel, a tributary of the River Tay, flows through the loch from west to east.

	Derivation of the Names of Lake District Rivers
		The same British root is found in the River Dart in Devon, the River Darent in Kent, the River Darwen in Lancashire and the Yorkshire and Derbyshire Derwents.
		This is probably the British river-name 'Isca', similar to the River Exe in Devon and derived from the same root as the Welsh 'esk', water.
		The first element is probably Welsh 'glyndwfr', a river valley; the second element may be a superfluous O.N. 'á', a river; the last could be a Welsh word 'mochyn', meaning 'swine'.

		Prior to the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, land to the west of the river Leven belonged to the powerful abbots of Furness, whilst land on the opposite bank of the river was controlled by the priors of Cartmel.
		By the 1630's a more substantial wooden bridge had been constructed outside the Inn, but due to common usage and the damage caused by 'draughts of timber' being dragged across it, it soon became necessary for it to be replaced.

		Furness is (strictly) that area of "Lancashire-beyond-the-Sands" which is bounded by the sea on the south, Cartmel and Windermere on the east, the River Duddon and Dunnerdale on the west and the Langdale valleys at the north.
		The origin of the name is believed to be "far ness"; accordingly, although most people say Furness (with the accent on the first syllable), probably the more-correct pronunciation is Furness.
		Cartmel parish has Morecambe Bay to the south, is bounded by the Lancashire border (the River Winster) on the east, extends northwards towards Bowness and faces Furness proper on the west across the River Leven.
