Ulverston
Folder: Lake District
In the South Lakeland district of Cumbria. I paid a brief visit, and had enough time to walk up to Hoad Hill (site of the Sir John Barrow Monument) to take in the views across the Southern Lakes and over the Leven estuary. The town's not actually in the National Park, but I'm not bothering myself with that too much.
