Kents Bank, Cumbria

Flower Delivery to Kents Bank with Clare Florist

There is no doubt where Kents Bank got its name. One only needs to know its history: once upon a time, a body of water called the River Kent used to run close to the village. Lying on Morecambe Bay, the village sits on a hill that forms a portion of Hampsfield Fell.

Kents Bank is bordered to the east by the Furness Line railway and Morecambe Bay; to the north by Carter Road; to the south by Kentsford Road; and the west by the B5277.

A large portion of the Kents Bank population is retired. As such, business in the area is mostly wholesale and retail in nature. That said, there are a number of cottages to be found in the area which you can book should you want a weekend getaway with your partner. Staying in a cottage gives you lots of opportunities to be romantic, including giving them Kents Bank flowers. We can also send a bouquet of blooms your way just in case you weren’t able to get any flowers in Kents Bank.
