https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Peter%27s_Church,_Leck Leck is half a mile from Cowan Bridge. There is a parking area at the church (honesty box). Post code LA6 2JD will take you to the school. If approaching from Cowan Bridge tea room on the A65, the turning for Church Lane is a short distance before the turning for the school.
