Devil's Bridge, Kirkby Lonsdale

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice views. Apparently, there is no record of it ever been built - so it was assumed the Devil built it 🙃. We used to jump off it in younger …

Casterton Golf Club Clubhouse Café

Highlight • Rest Area

If you are cycling the LEJOG, as we were, this is a great stop. Outside seating, nice food, friendly service, and plenty of room for your bikes. We were a team of six and there was still room for more.

Barbondale Valley

Highlight • Gorge

My happy place. The descent of Barbondale heading South West toward Barbon has to be one of the most beautiful in the country. It's a tough climb from Gawthrop, but worth it!
