Dalton North is a ward on the Furness peninsula in Westmorland and Furness, England, forming the northern part of the market town of Dalton-in-Furness close to Barrow-in-Furness. The area sits within easy reach of Morecambe Bay and the western fringes of the Lake District National Park, giving a mix of coastal and rural character; local transport links such as the A590 and Dalton railway station mean many residents commute to nearby industry and services.
Historically centred on the medieval Dalton Castle and a long market-town tradition, the ward combines residential streets, small shops and community groups with ties to the shipbuilding and engineering economy of neighbouring Barrow-in-Furness. Its blend of historic landmarks, easy access to countryside and bay views helps keep a strong local identity despite modern commuter and service-sector influences.
