Carnforth
Carnforth is a small town and civil parish near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire, England, situated at the north east end of Morecambe Bay. The parish of Carnforth had a population of 5,350 recorded in the 2001 census, and also types part of the City of Lancaster. The 2011 Census gauged a population of 5,560. As a result of the closeness of the coast and capitals, Carnforth is a prominent base for walkers and also cyclists checking out the area. The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 and also the Lancaster Canal go through the community. The M6 motorway passes just to the eastern, connected to Carnforth by the A601(M). The name "Carnforth" is thought to derive from its old function as a ford of the River Keer on which it is positioned. Over time the descriptive name "Keer-ford" might have changed into the modern-day "Carnforth". An alternate explanation is that the name stems from 'Chreneforde' as well as is Anglo-Saxon in origin, as pointed out in the Victoria County History of Lancashire.
