Arnside, across the county boundary in Cumbria, is a useful and very pleasant place to stop. The views across the Kent estuary to the Lakeland Fells are superb, too. It’s easily reached by a short optional loop, adding 5.4km/3.4m, described where it leaves the main route.

If you've come along the Lancaster Link, turn left. If you’ve ridden in from Crook O’Lune, turn right. Either way, cross the narrow bridge. The entry and exit show evidence of inaccurate driving, but there’s additional space for bikes and pedestrians. Follow the lane up to a T junction and go left, passing the Greyhound Inn before rising to a mini-roundabout. Go straight across (second exit) into Foundry Lane.

Continue up through the trees then, still climbing, over the motorway to a crossroads. Turn right and climb steadily, passing a tall television mast. At the next T junction go right, re-crossing the motorway, then climb again through Nether Kellet. Near the top of the village turn left for Carnforth: you can freewheel almost all the way if you like.
