Welcome to Caton

Caton is a small village located in the Lune Valley of Lancashire, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles north-east of Lancaster and 5 miles south-west of Kirkby Lonsdale. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. The River Lune runs through the village, providing a picturesque setting for visitors and locals alike.

The history of Caton dates back to the Roman era, with evidence of a Roman road passing through the village. In the 12th century, a church was built in the village, which still stands today. The village grew in the 18th and 19th centuries with the development of the textile industry, and many of the old mills and factories can still be seen in the area. Today, Caton is a thriving community with a range of amenities including a primary school, shops, pubs, and a community centre.

One of the main attractions in Caton is the Crook O'Lune, a beautiful spot on the River Lune where visitors can enjoy a picnic or take a walk along the riverbank. The village also has a number of walking and cycling routes, including the Lune Valley Ramble and the Millennium Way. For those interested in history, the Caton Heritage Trail takes visitors on a journey through the village's past, with stops at historic buildings and landmarks.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken. Hyning Rd Lancashire 5.88 miles
