Halton

The village of Halton is situated thre emiles east of Lancaster in the Lune Valley. A walk and cycle path follows the old railway line in the Denny Beck area of the village. 
Denny Beck Bridge across the River Lune is amazingly a two-way road bridge! There are no traffic lights at either end, even though you cannot pass an oncoming vehicle. 
Forrmer station buildings and platform , remarkably silll very much intact, despite being closed to passengers in 1966.
A carving alongside the old railway station, depicting what it was once like.
They must be very expensive goose eggs!!

Entrance to St. Wilfrid's Church.
