Kents Bank

Kents Bank

Kents Bank is a small village in Cumbria, so named due to its proximity to the River Kent estuary. It is located several miles west of Grange-over-Sands.

Kents Bank railway station, which serves the village, lies on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster.

Kents Bank was the original crossing point from Lancaster to the Cartmel Peninsula. This changed with the arrival of the railway in the 1860s and the building of the larger station at Grange-over-Sands.
