Day 5 of my Barrow in Furness to Barrowford walk:

Killington Lake to Dent, 13miles 900ft

Setting off walking east from J37 on the M6....

....Killington lake just visible on the horizon

Looking back to the M6 motorway with the unamed fell from last week's walk behind

Passing Killington lake....

....and little further on passing Lily mere....

.....followed by the river Lune

Now walking on field paths towards Sedbergh....

....and again

The disused railway viaduct on the outskirts of Sedbergh

A morning break sat in the grass on Sedbergh golf course

Sedbergh just visible across the misty valley with Winder fell behind

My route took me past many pretty little cottages....

....until St Andrew's church Dent came in sight....

....and again

It's a very large church for such a little village

Dent has still retained its cobbled streets....

....and has an interesting heritage museum....

....and cafe where I waited for my lift back to the car

Now well and truly in the Yorkshire Dales the terrain and landscape is less dramatic but is neverless great walking country. Another wonderful day's walking.
