A walk along Kirkgate Lane: views from the highest point (12c)
Looking through a gate on the south side of Kirkgate Lane. The trees on the horizon are just in front of the spot height on the rising ground: 53 metres above mean sea level. The view point is the highest point on the lane: approximately at 50 metres.
Kirkgate Lane
Kirkgate Lane is an ancient stone surfaced track between Whitebeck Lane, Priest Hutton and Tewitfield Chapel on Kellet Lane. It is not officially classed as a public byway on the OS map but as an "other route with public access". It is a pleasant walk gently rising by approximately 20 metres to its highest point before dropping down towards the Chapel and the bridge over the Lancaster Canal. There are some lovely views to be had through gateways and the ancient hedges are full of wild flowers and shrubby bushes including hazel, elder and sloe.
