Barrow are my local team, or at least were when I lived there permanently. Grim, grim place. Furness is known as the biggest cul-de-sac in Britain (although I think there are probably hundreds pf places that call themselves that), the A590 is the only way in or out, it's very much like living on an island.
Fun things to do:
Walney Island
Piel Castle
Trying not to get set upon by the local thugs (there was a street of nightclubs and bars, long since boarded up, that was referreed to locally as the Gaza Strip)
