		... At Lancaster we are at the mouth of the Lune, which must be crossed by Skerton Bridge on leaving the town and soon we are travelling less than two miles from the coast, through Slyne and Bolton-le-Sands, to where the ironworks of Carnforth impose themselves boldly upon the landscape. In another two or three miles we run out of Lancashire into Westmorland.
		The Lake District
		And now for the most spectacular part of the journey. For a majority of those who travel this road it will stand, perhaps, as the road to the Lakes rather than as the road to Glasgow. The gateway to the Lake District from the south is Kendal, marked as we approach it by the ruins of Kendal Castle crowning a hill to the right. ...
