So picturesque is it that the artist Joseph Mallord William Turner painted a picture of The Crook of Lune around 1820. It’s meandering river and rolling banks was also enough for it to warrant a mention by the poets Thomas Gray and William Wordsworth.
Contrast this natural peacefulness with a visit to the lively and historic city of Lancaster. Visit the Queen’s local castle, or take to the water and cruise along the canal – and be sure to visit one of the Waterway’s Seven Wonders, the Lune Aqueduct.
