Surrounded by a patchwork of fields that lead down to the coast, Chapels is a chocolate-box setting from which to explore the local region. For a selection of pubs and restaurants, Broughton-on-Furness has much to offer. The history of Broughton-in-Furness dates back to the 11th Century, with the oldest building thought to be St Mary's Church, first built in Saxon times. The focus of the town is the Georgian market square with its obelisk erected to mark the jubilee of King George III in 1810. In Elizabethan times a charter was granted to hold fairs, and it is in the Square that the annual reading of the Charter takes place on 1st August. Kirkby-in-Furness plays host to the Furness Railway and provides a convenient and relaxing way to take in the splendour of the locality.
