Torver is a hamlet on the River Crake near the foot of Consiton Water. It is located in the Furness district of Lancashire that beacme part of the administrative county of Cumbria in 1974.

Farming has always played an important part in Torver's history, though slate mining increased when the Coniston branch of the Furness Railway was opened in the nineteenth century (it subsequently closed in 1958). Nowadays, it remains starting point for many walks around the Duddon Valley and Coniston Water, an area popularised by William Wordsworth
