Welcome to Lindal & Marton

This website is a mine of information about the villages of Lindal-in-Furness and Marton in South Cumbria. The two villages share a parish council, church, village hall, pre-school, cricket club, bowling club, pub, an active residents' association, and an "outstanding" primary school.

The community is centrally located in the Furness area, and has good transport links to shops, work, education, and leisure facilities at Dalton, Barrow, Ulverston, Kendal, and Lancaster.

We'd like to extend a special warm welcome to anyone moving into the villages for the first time. Please use this website to get acquainted with what goes on, and don't be shy about mucking in with village clubs and events. New ideas and enthusiasm help to keep our community vibrant.

We also recommend that you visit the Lindal & Marton Primary School website at: lindalandmartonprimaryschool.co.uk

Aspects of Lindal & Marton

"Aspects of Lindal & Marton" is our village newsletter, published and distributed monthly to all households in the parish by a band of dedicated volunteers. Aspects is sponsored by Lindal & Marton Parish Council, St Peter's Church PCC, and members of the community. See our Aspects page for more information and selected past articles.

Lindal & Marton is one of three Parish Councils in Barrow Borough. Parish Council meetings normally take place in the Buccleuch Hall on the first Thursday of each month, and are open to the public. The Parish Council Clerk issues an Agenda a few days before each meeting, and issues Minutes a few days afterwards. Agendas and full Minutes are published on our Downloads page.
