LEJOG Day 16 - Garstang to Dent

A noticeable change in the landscape as we cycle into Cumbria. Very lush and green pastures with sheep & cattle grazing. The fields are bounded by extensive dry stone walls that disappear into the hills. Little cropping activity to be seen.

The houses tend to be built with a greyer stone and the churches are predominantly Methodist.

Arrived at Kirkby Lonsdale, a pretty little village - their weekly market was on, so a nice change for lunch options.

Crossed the River Lune via the lovely 13th century three arched Devils Bridge (named after an ancient local folk tale) and then started our last gradual climb (12km) before a well earned 14% descent into Dent.

A lovely cycle day - but definitely cooler now!
