'''Lancashire''' is a county in the North West of England. It is the second most populous county in England, with a population of just under 5 million. Its southern border with [[Cheshire]] is marked by the [[River Mersey]], with its eastern border with [[Yorkshire]] being marked by the Pennines. It borders [[Westmorland]] to the north at Morecambe Bay, while "Lancashire-over-Sands" (or Furness) in the north west is detached from the rest of the county by the shallow Kent estuary, contains part of the Lake District and borders Westmorland partially along Lake Windermere to the east and Cumberland along the [[River Duddon]] to the west.
