Caton, Lancashire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Parish of Caton-with-Littledale is situated near the River Lune less than 10 minutes from the M6 motorway on the A683 Kirkby Lonsdale road.

The beauty of the area was captured by the artist J M W Turner, and described by the poet William Wordsworth

The poet Thomas Gray wrote “every feature which constitutes a perfect landscape of the extensive sort is here not only boldly marked, but in its best position". When John Ruskin first saw the Lune Valley, he declared; "I do not know in all my country, still less France or Italy, a place more naturally divine or a more priceless possession of the true Holy Land..."
