Arkholme - a 'Thankful Village'

This week's walk started and ended in the picturesque village of Arkholme, on the north side of the River Lune to the east of Lancaster. Arkholme is a 'Thankful Village' - one which suffered no losses in the Great War. All 59 men returned safely!

In very promising weather conditions we set off from the centre of the village and walked north-west up a hill with no name between Craven View Farm and Kitchlow Farm, taking a coffee stop on the way.

We continued on to Cinder Hill and eventually to Gunnerthwaite farm, pausing for lunch on the way. We continued in a clockwise direction with a superb view of Ingleborough in the mist.

Returning to the village we explored the cul-de-sac (above) which leads to the Church of St John the Baptist and the River Lune.
