Haverthwaite StationLakeside and Haverthwaite Railway

Originally a branch line of the Furness Railway, the railway once carried passengers and freight from Lakeside to the towns of Ulverston and Barrow. The railway was closed by British Rail in the 1960's. The 3.5 miles from Haverthwaite, through Newby Bridge to the terminus at Lakeside, at the southern end of Windermere, is now the only surviving part of the line.
