Carnforth
Carnforth is a village and civil parish near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire, England, positioned at the north eastern end of Morecambe Bay. The parish of Carnforth had a population of 5,350 recorded in the 2001 census, as well as forms part of the City of Lancaster. The 2011 Census determined a population of 5,560. Because of the closeness of the coastline and capitals, Carnforth is a prominent base for pedestrians and also bicyclists checking out the location. 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 eastern, connected to Carnforth by the A601(M). The name "Carnforth" is thought to derive from its old feature as a ford of the River Keer on which it is located. Over time the detailed name "Keer-ford" might have changed into the modern "Carnforth". An alternative explanation is that the name derives from 'Chreneforde' and also is Anglo-Saxon in beginning, as cited in the Victoria County Background of Lancashire.
