Summary:
The Lunesdale Walk traces a figure of eight, crossing at Loyn Bridge, about half a mile north of Hornby. It is waymarked throughout its 37 mile (59kms) length with dedicated waymark discs (a yellow arrow and walk name on a green
background).You can pick up the walk at any point along its length, but the most easily accessible locations are at Carnforth, Hornby and Wennington. It’s ideal for a long weekend break (for the whole route) or for linear and circular day
walks. The Lune Valley is well served by both local bus and rail services which may be used to access the Lunesdale Walk at various points along its route, meaning you can enjoy a day’s walk without the need for a car.
