Carnforth
Carnforth is a village as well as civil parish near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire, England, located at the north east end of Morecambe Bay. The parish of Carnforth had a population of 5,350 recorded in the 2001 census, and kinds part of the City of Lancaster. The 2011 Census measured a population of 5,560. As a result of the distance of the coast as well as the hills, Carnforth is a preferred base for pedestrians as well as bicyclists discovering the area. The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 and the Lancaster Canal travel through the town. The M6 freeway passes simply to the eastern, linked to Carnforth by the A601(M). The name "Carnforth" is thought to originate from its old function as a ford of the River Keer on which it is situated. In time the detailed name "Keer-ford" may 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 mentioned in the Victoria County History of Lancashire.
