Westmorland
Westmorland is one of the 39 traditional counties of England. Its main towns are Ambleside, Appleby-in-Westmorland (the County Town), Kendal, Kirkby Stephen, Milnthorpe and Windermere.
The county contains large parts of the Lake District National Park.
It was abolished in 1974 when it was combined with Cumberland and parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire to create Cumbria.
Westmorland is still used as a placename. There is a Westmorland Gazette, a Westmorland County Agricultural Show, and a Westmorland Shopping Centre.
