Whelpstone Lodge The old farm house of Whelpstone Lodge. The track in the foreground leads to Owlshaw farm which is the white building in the distance to the left of the tree trunk. The farm track in the picture is officially in Yorkshire but on its short journey to Owlshaw briefly enters back into Lancashire officially. The county boundary being marked by a dry stone wall which the track passes through then after a short distance enters back into Yorkshire through the same wall line. There are no border guards or customs bureaucrats to hassle the free thinking, free roaming poets of the free wild fells. The border line here is part of the 'new'1974 boundary between the Red Rose county of Lancashire and the White Rose of Yorkshire, these being the dictates of control bureaucracies. The old boundary bit deep into the 'Red Rose' making Lancashire geographically resemble a wasps body! The extremity of the 'White Rose' bite was on the high fells of Bowland over looking the Irish sea which was just 9 miles west along SD51 grid line to the coast at Morecambe Bay. This old county boundary area was near 'Greave Clough Head' and 'White Moss' at 1520ft(464M) both being in SD5750. The western extremity of this former boundary is marked on the map as a mound at SD574509 just south of 'Johnny Pye's Clough Top'. Johnny Pye's Clough Top is in SD5751 which also lies on the old county boundary line marked by another mound a short distance towards the north east. A little further on still (NE) the trig point of 'Hawthornthwaite Fell Top' 1567ft (476M) SD579515 was on the former Lancashire/Yorkshire border. Many of us free spirits do not recognise these 'new' 1974 border lines and still refer to villages and places as being in the Red Rose or White rose counties of former times pre 74, even if it does make old Lancashire take the form of a wasps body. Also don't forget we Lancastrians had the south peninsulas of the Lake District dipping into the north of Morecambe Bay. But Yorkshire men and women are wary of us Lancashire folk because they know we have a damned good sting !

«Et fantastisk sted bortenfor bråk og støy om ikke noe hundebjeffing er et problem. t særdeles vellykket oppussingsprosjekt både på inn- og utsiden. Topp service. Høy kvalitet på maten. Bra rom og komfortabel seng. Fint trykk i dusjen. Men hvorfor ikke et lite brett i dusjen til å ha de små flaskene til shampoo og dusjsepe på? Siste flisespikking: jeg så hverken Calvados, Grappa eller Armagnac i baren ved siden av Cognacen.»

«After going through the front gate that should have locked I came by a dumpster full of stinking garbage. The small courtyard was filthy. The stairs going up to the rooms needed a good cleaning and refurbishing. After opening the door to the room I was surprised how small it was, 8’x8’? The shared bathroom, toilet paperless, was dingy and poorly lit. Some photoshop trickery must have been used for the pics of the place. Since anyone could access the property through the open front, street gate I ...

Holiday Inn Express Hotel Burnley M65 JCT10 by IHG

6/10 Greit

"Its included, but no boiled or fried eggs, no chese or ham. Potential for emproovement."

Grassington Lodge

8/10 Bra

"Ok sted, ulik standard på rom og spesielt bad. Noen veldig små og noen større og moderne. Vi ble møtt av en hyggelig renholder, men hun formidlet at selv om hun var ferdig med vasking av rommene kunne vi ikke sjekke inn før 16.00. Vi synes det var et strengt regime."
