About

The Askam & Dalton North area occupies a stretch of the Furness peninsula coastline along the Duddon Estuary. Its landscape is defined by industrial heritage and coastal marshland, with the villages of Askam-in-Furness and Dalton-in-Furness forming its core. The terrain includes flat, reclaimed land from historic iron ore mining, which supplied local furnaces, and the rising fells of the Lake District National Park begin inland. Remnants of this industry, including old slag banks, are visible near the shore.

A specific legacy is the network of narrow-gauge railway tracks embedded in the tarmac of some Askam streets, a remnant of the area's industrial transport system. The expansive sands of the Duddon Estuary are exposed at low tide, with Askam's beach featuring distinctive, naturally occurring haematite pebbles. Dalton-in-Furness, slightly inland, functions as a historic market town with a medieval castle and serves as a local commercial centre for the surrounding villages.
