Furness Peninsula in SW Cumbria, spitting distance to the Lakes boundary.
That’s a posh way of saying Barrer
It was my posh way of saying "near Millom" but I agree others would definitely assume it's Barra, thanks for pointing that out marra...

Ah, you see, I’m from that posh place just up the road- Ulverston. Well I was born there, grew up near Grange-o-Sands.
Millom eh? That’s the boil on the a***hole that is Barrer
