About Broughton-in-Furness

Broughton-in-Furness is a Georgian market square town at the edge of the Duddon, historically a wool and iron gateway. Obelisk on the square, independent shops, and the road into Dunnerdale. It feels more Furness than Lakes, which is a compliment.

Use it as a civilised base for the Duddon, Black Combe and the quiet south-west.
