There is a part of England called the Golf Coast. This is not an area defined by a body of water (a Gulf Coast), but a stretch of coastline known by the number and quality of its golf. England's Golf Coast stretches about 150 miles from Carlisle near the Scottish border to Chester near the Welsh border. It is an area that includes England's Lake District, the resort town of Southport and major cities such as Manchester and Liverpool.
