Dalton-in-Furness sits on the Furness peninsula in the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness, England, a few miles inland from Barrow-in-Furness and with easy access to Morecambe Bay and the southern fells of the Lake District. The town occupies a modest ridge of rolling countryside and serves as a local hub for surrounding villages, with pleasant walking country and coastal scenery close by.
Dalton has medieval roots and a long market-town tradition, best symbolised by the 14th-century Dalton Castle tower and a compact historic centre of Georgian and Victorian buildings. Today it combines independent shops, community events and local services with many residents commuting to industry and shipbuilding in nearby Barrow-in-Furness, while the area's history and rural setting make it popular with walkers and anyone interested in Furness heritage, including nearby monastic ruins at Furness Abbey.
