Nestled in the western side of South Lakeland lies the quaint town of Broughton-In-Furness. Historically a market town with buildings like St. Mary’s church is thought to date back to the 11th century.
Most of the town’s gorgeous traditional buildings are Georgian, and they trail off from the central market square in all directions. The square’s main feature is the central obelisk that was constructed in 1810 to mark the Jubilee of King George III. However, you will find much history wandering through this picturesque town.
In the market square, you will see the Broughton-In-Furness Tourist Information Centre and one of its four pubs. Down one of its many side streets, you will find a butcher, grocers, and bakery next to each other. Perfect for a self-catering holiday in the town.
