    Hiking

    The Lancaster Canal has a rich history, dating back to the late 18th century. It was originally built to transport coal, limestone, and other goods to and from the industrial centres of Lancashire. Today, it is primarily used for leisure boating and as a scenic walking route.
    From Carnforth, this section is known for its picturesque scenery. It passes through lush countryside, charming villages, and peaceful rural landscapes, making it a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and boaters.

    Hiking

    Nice stretch of the Lancaster Canal, though quite close to the A6 with the accompanying road noise.
