MORECAMBE LINE
•
The Bentham Line
Connecting Leeds, Lancaster and
Morecambe
To discover an area full of charm with
wonderful views, take a trip on the Leeds-
Lancaster-Morecambe line. The line follows the
route from Leeds to Settle junction where it
branches off towards Giggleswick and Clapham
before reaching the Line Valley, Carnforth and
Lancaster. Lancaster City has a wealth of
things to see and do and the Tourist Information
Centre is just down from the station by the
Castle. Alternatively travel through to
Morecambe and take in the fresh sea air along
the newly improved promenade and stone jetty.
