Crook O Lune Picnic Site

A very nice spot to enjoy a picnic on a sunny day. Its a public park, free of charge (not sure if the parking is free, tough). During summer people use to swim here since the water is clean and shallow. Just beware of the rocks under your feet (best to go with sneakers). There is no restaurant nearby, so bring your own food and drinks. You can also get here by bus or car, but we came on foot - its a nice path by the river Lune from the city of Lancaster (about an hour of easy trekking).Don't forget your hats and sunblock!It's a dog and kids' friendly place.Hnit: the further you go, more privacy you get. Under the bridge is usually packed.

Good place to park, £1 for the day. The walks are here are fun, picturesque scenery and not too many people around even on a busy days. There are so many routes to take.

Beautiful place. Unspoilt natural location.

It's clean & tidy there are toilets and a cafe that has out side seating. Note it's cash only. The views of the river are stunning and is the starting point for several local walks. There is also a footpath that keeps you off the road to the local village which has a couple of pubs and shops. I would recomend the Ship Inn for lunch.

A quick trip on our holiday trip; did not use the picnic area or facilities, only a driving break to the car park which is in two parts, the second beyond the height restriction barrier. The photos submitted are of the old railway line and bridge which has fantastic views. A word of caution is the blind bend when turning right into the car park and the risk from fast traffic approaching.

Very nice place for a walk and some great views! It was helped by the snow that was around, it makes everything that little bit better in my opinion but would have been great without regardless. Recommend for a day out.

Lovely for swimming, lots of places to sit along the river. A lot of walks coverage on the bridges in this area. Parking available and a small shop.

What a stunning place, the picnic area is a gem of a place to stop off and soak up the beauty of the majestic landscape before you head off to explore the river banks and park. The scenery is beautiful whatever the weather, highly recommended!

Lovely spot. Nice cafe. Good facilities. Great walks. Fantastic place to break up a journey.
