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 !

«Delightful managers and staff, ready and eager to help. The room (3) itself was beautiful and cosy. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the bedsheets smelled lovely. The shower was amazing, the bathroom gorgeous. The general decor of the room and bathroom were lovely. I would definitely stay here again! Unfortunately I didn’t have time (I was working) to sample the food, but I definitely will next time! If you have accessibility needs, let them know way ahead of time as most of the rooms are ...

«This is the second time we've stayed at the Mason Freehouse, it was lovely the first time we stayed, which made us keen to return. Although it is now under new management, it's clear that the lovely, friendly, warm welcoming atmosphere is something the staff are keen to retain. We're looking forward to coming back and staying again, as the plans for new menus sound fantastic. Room sizes and facilities are very adequate for a short stay. The location is very central for the surrounding walks, ...

«Vi valgte dette hotellet fordi det var rett ved togstasjonen og vi skulle komme ganske sent på kvelden. Tog vårt ble byttet ut med buss og vi kom derfor litt senere. Vi ringte til hotellet og fikk beskjed om at det ikke var noe problem, selv om vi kom etter at resepsjonen stengte, vi fikk intstrukser og alt var i orden. Lancaster er ikke så stort, så det er ganske lokalt uansett hvor du bor. Det var 1 minutt til nærmeste shopping gate, 4 minutter til borgen, 5 minutter til togstasjonen, 2 ...

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."
