THE beauty of Barrow will be celebrated at a special event next month.
The Barrow's Beautiful Places fair will celebrate the borough's landscape and natural heritage.
Bringing together a number of special guests, the event will showcase the array of places to see and advise people on where to go locally.
The event will be held at The Forum on March 24 between 10am until 3pm.
The area's three nature wardens, from South Walney, North Walney, and Sandscale Haws, will be attending, as well as representatives of the Furness Abbey Fellowship, Barrow Park and the Dock Museum.
Barrow Library's archive service will also be showcasing the history of the borough, while Cumbria GeoConservation geologists will explain the important rock formations in the area, including information about which quarries supplied the stone to build some of the town's iconic buildings.
Visitors can also seek advice on walks, wildlife and the new England Coastal Path.
Walney adventure training instructor Rob Davis will also be giving a presentation.
The borough has been ranked first in the Royal Society of Arts Heritage Index for quality of landscape and natural heritage in England.
