Biker, Cycle and dog friendly family run cafe with a history of 70+yrs continual business. New proprietor's for the '24 summer season and they're cool AF 😎. Stones, Zeppelin, new order, beach boys, nirvana and Jefferson Airplane on the playlist and everyone's having the craic. Been here for an hour talking to a dozen people I don't know from Adam or Eve and been peeing myself laughing 😂 for most of it. I wish it continued success 👍

Lancaster Canal Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The leaves can make it quite slippery under foot and wheels. It’s a great little trail for getting to the outskirts of Kendal without going on the road.

Lancaster Canal Trail

Highlight • River

Lovely trail into Kendal. Some steep sections where it crosses roads - can also be slippery underfoot with wet leaves, so be careful.

Sedgwick Aqueduct and Village

Highlight • Historical Site

There is an old aqueduct in Sedgwick, which the Lancaster Canal Trail takes you through. If you wish to take the time to explore, the residents of Sedgwick have very helpfully put together a selection of walks and information about the village. This can be found at the bottom of the steps of the aqueduct (bridge) or below

Sedgwick House

Highlight • Historical Site

Sedgwick House was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, and was one of the earliest commissions of the partnership. It was built in 1868 for William Henry Wakefield, who owned a local gunpowder factory. The family moved out of the house shortly before World War II, and it was then used by Lancashire County Council as a school for children with special needs. The school closed in 1987, and the building has since been converted into residential accommodation. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It was designed and turned into apartments and a separate family living space by graphic and interior designer Malcolme Frank Thorburn.
The grounds are used by the local cricket club.
