.'''Westmorland is a historic county in North West England spanning the southern Lake District and the northern Dales. It had an administrative function from the 12th century until 1974. Between 1974 and 2023, Westmorland lay within the administrative county of Cumbria. In April 2023, Cumbria County Council will be abolished and replaced with two unitary authorities, one of which, Westmorland and Furness, will cover all of Westmorland (as well as other areas).<ref>"Westmorland", at Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westmorland, accessed 25 February 2023.</ref> | |||
