About

Low Furness occupies the low-lying southern part of the Furness peninsula around Swarthmoor, within the Westmorland and Furness unitary area. The landscape is a patchwork of small fields divided by hedgerows and stone walls, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered hamlets. Toward the coast there are stretches of saltmarsh and tidal creeks that feed into Morecambe Bay, and the land gives open views back to the Furness Fells. Local geology shows bands of limestone and glacial deposits, and a network of public footpaths and bridleways links the farms with village centres.

Swarthmoor village sits a short distance from Ulverston and is centred on Swarthmoor Hall, the 17th-century manor where George Fox lodged and early Quaker meetings began; the hall still draws visitors for its historic rooms and gardens. Community life mixes agriculture with small-scale visitor stays and outdoor activity; village halls, a primary school and parish churches act as local hubs. Routes from lanes and tracks lead to coastal edges and inland pastures, making the area practical for short walks and local history visits.
