Thursday ride: Halton Station to Casterton Golf Club on 24 July 2025

Lancaster and South Lakes Cycle Touring 

An easy start today at 09.15 at the old Halton station. Heading east we left the cycle track at Caton and much to every bodies amazement we went over the hills on Caton Green. Rejoining the main road we turned off  into Wray for a welcome coffee break.

Leaving Wray we continued eastwards through Wennington where we turned left onto Spout Lane and into  Melling. Using the busy Kirkby Lonsdale road to the Highway Man pub we turned right to ride along Woodmans Lane. To avoid upsetting the locals we continued until we joined the main A65 where we turned left. Eventually we left this busy road to cycle along the old Roman road. At the cross roads we turned left onto Collier’s Lane and dropped down to our lunch stop at Casterton Golf Club.

Suitably refreshed we left the golf club and cycled towards Kirkby Lonsdale to go over Devils Bridge.

Once over the main road we took the B6254(Arkholme road) and in Newton took a right turn onto Docker Lane. After going over the railway another right turn led us to Keer Holme Lane and a short trip alongside the railway. A right on Borwick Lane then immediate right took us through Priest Hutton to Whitebeck Lane and the main road so we could have our afternoon coffee break at Greenlands.

The journey home involved riding up Kellet Lane from the Tewitfield pub through Over Kellet then heading towards Nether Kellet. Just before Nether Kellet a left onto Long Dales Lane then Scargill Road and Arrow Lane to dropped us down into Halton then it was straight forward to go round Lancaster and home.
