Dalton, Cumbria

united kingdom

Dalton lies on the A65 between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District, serving as a convenient stopping point for cross-county travel. The M6 is 8km west via Carnforth, with local routes connecting to Burton-in-Kendal and surrounding villages. The town sits on well-draining limestone, avoiding the waterlogging that affects much of Cumbria. Its 14th-century market cross remains one of the county's most complete examples, still anchoring the weekly market.
