Ulverston is within the area of

The town is within the wider civil parish of Ulverston. This historic entity is bounded in the east by the Leven estuary, the River Crake, Coniston Water and Yewdale Beck. To the west the boundary follows a chain of hills, and beyond that lie the towns of Kirkby-in-Furness and Askam and Ireleth. To the south is relatively low land, which rises quickly. In the north are hills such as Coniston Old Man. The settlements of the parish are mainly concentrated in the eastern part.

The Bay Horse [1]. It used to be owned by John Tovey, though not, I think, in 1980. I guess it's more of a restaurant and less of a pub now. Arcturus (talk) 22:27, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that Arcturus. It certainly didn't seem to me to have that vibe then, so I think you are probably right! I must go back one of these days. :) Cheers DBaK (talk) 11:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
