Carnforth to Bentham
A station-to-station walkLancashireNorth of England
Wonderful views, especially back towards Ingleborough. Roughly 40% quiet lanes and farm roads (some with pavement, some without) and 60% field paths and farm tracks. Several field sections have no visible trodden path and can be long-grassed, thistly or boggy. Gently undulating with some hills and plus a riverside stretch along the Wenning. Curlews and other wildlife are common in the fields; expect livestock (sheep, occasional cows). Wennington has a station, so the walk can be shortened.
Lunch: Hornby (around halfway) has shops, a café and a pub.
Warnings: Some field paths are unclear underfoot, so GPS is useful; ground-nesting birds (curlews) may be disturbed in long grass during nesting season. A few road sections have no pavement, and the lane leaving Hornby can be the dodgiest for traffic.
