WHAT DOES FURNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Furness

Furness /ˈfɜrnɨs/ is a peninsula and region in south Cumbria, England. While the name originated strictly to the peninsula only, it is also used to more broadly refer to the whole of North Lonsdale, that part of the Lonsdale hundred that is an exclave of the historic county of Lancashire, lying to the north of Morecambe Bay. As Lancashire and North Lonsdale are no longer administrative boundaries, the use of the word Furness for the whole area has increased. The area is divided into Low Furness and High Furness. Low Furness is the peninsula itself; it juts out into the Irish Sea and delineates the western edge of Morecambe Bay. The southern end of the peninsula is dominated by the bay's tidal mudflats. The long thin island of Walney lies off the peninsula's south-west coast. High Furness is the northern part of the area, that was part of North Lonsdale but is not on the peninsula itself. Much of it is within the Lake District National Park, and contains the Furness Fells. It borders England's largest body of water, Windermere.
