Ulverston is a vibrant market town on the south west fringe of the Lake District in Cumbria. Located just a few miles inland from the northern shores of Morecambe Bay and 8 miles south west of the south end of Lake Windermere, in recent times Ulverston has become a tourist hot spot.
The area around Ulverston has been inhabited since the Bronze age and Ulverston itself is was recorded in the Domesday book in 1066 as Ulvrestun which is an old Norse name.
The town was granted its market charter in 1280 by Edward 1 and the tradition of a Thursday market survives to this day, now supplemented by a Saturday street market.
