| • | Lindale - traditionally Lindale in Cartmel - is a village in the Furness region of Cumbria. It lies on the North-Eastern side of Morecambe Bay and is part of the traditional county of Lancashire, in the United Kingdom.
Lindale's most famous resdient was John Wilkinson, an ironworker and inventor who lived in the village from 1750. He produced the iron for and help design the world's first iron bridge (at Ironbridge) and he amde the world's first iron boat in 1787. A large iron obelisk stands in the village as memorial to him.
Traditionally a farming village, Lindale's proximity to the A590 road has seen a growth in the nubmer of commuters who live there. It is also a centre for car showrooms. The local tourist boom has largely missed Lindale, with nearby Grange-over-Sands developing into a seaside resort, and vilalges to the north and west (such as Cartmel) benefiting from their position in the Lake District National Park.
