Once this was the leading town of Furness, and was an important centre for administration and justice. The Pele Tower known as Dalton Castle, is close by, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. A guided tour around this small, but intriguing building gives a fascinating insight into the lives of the abbot and monks of Furness, at one time amongst the most powerful in the country. The ruins of the abbey are close by, nestling in a peaceful wooded valley. Not far from Dalton Castle is the red sandstone church of St Mary. In the graveyard lies George Romney (1734-1804), the famous portrait painter who was born in the town. Many examples of his work may be seen at Abbot Hall in Kendal.
