Carnforth is a town as well as civil church near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire, England, positioned at the north east end of Morecambe Bay. The church of Carnforth had a population of 5,350 recorded in the 2001 census, and forms part of the City of Lancaster. The 2011 Census gauged a population of 5,560. Due to the closeness of the coastline and the hills, Carnforth is a popular base for pedestrians as well as bikers checking out the area. The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 and also the Lancaster Canal pass through the town. The M6 motorway passes simply to the east, linked to Carnforth by the A601(M). The name "Carnforth" is thought to originate from its old feature as a ford of the River Keer on which it is situated. Over time the detailed name "Keer-ford" might have morphed right into the modern "Carnforth". An alternative description is that the name derives from 'Chreneforde' and also is Anglo-Saxon in beginning, as cited in the Victoria County Background of Lancashire.
