The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 as well as the Lancaster Canal pass through the town. The M6 freeway passes just to the east, linked 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.
