Overview

Caton is just to the east of Lancaster within the Forest of Bowland. We have parked the coach behind the Station Inn before (with their permission) and at Bull Beck Picnic Site up the road. Walks on offer today could take you along the Lune Valley or up into the hills. Wherever you go there is always a warm welcome at the Station Inn on your return.
