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, playgroup, cricket club, bowling club, pubs, 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.

Please send us local news items, announcements, event details, business advertising, stories, photos, etc for publication.
