Carnforth
Carnforth is a village and also civil church near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire, England, situated at the north eastern end of Morecambe Bay. The church of Carnforth had a population of 5,350 recorded in the 2001 census, and also kinds part of the City of Lancaster. The 2011 Census determined a population of 5,560. As a result of the closeness of the shore as well as the hills, Carnforth is a prominent base for pedestrians and cyclists exploring the area. The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 and the Lancaster Canal go through the town. The M6 motorway passes simply to the eastern, connected to Carnforth by the A601(M). The name "Carnforth" is believed to stem from its old feature as a ford of the River Keer on which it is positioned. With time the descriptive name "Keer-ford" might have morphed into the modern "Carnforth". A different explanation is that the name derives from 'Chreneforde' and also is Anglo-Saxon in beginning, as cited in the Victoria County History of Lancashire.
