The M6 motorway runs from junction 19 of the M1 at the Catthorpe Interchange, near Rugby to the Gretna junction (J45). Here it becomes the A74(M) and M74 which continues to Glasgow. The M6 is the longest motorway in the United Kingdom (232 miles) and one of the busiest. It incorporates the first length of motorway opened in the UK (the Preston bypass in 1958) and forms part of a motorway "Backbone of Britain", running north-south between London and Glasgow via the industrial north of England. It is also part of the east-west route between the Midlands and the east coast ports.

Stile on Coatflatt footpath

The stile seems quite substantial and robust, despite the adjacent wall being in a state of collapse - maybe undermined by those pesky moles ? The footpath itself is pretty faint on the ground but sticks to the flat grassy grazing land on the floodplain of Chapel Beck which flows on the left past the clump of conifers, on its way to meet the River Lune just before Tebay Bridge.

Chapel Beck flows past Coatflatt Mill

Chapel Beck flows from Orton to join the River Lune just above Tebay Bridge, but the eponymous chapel seems to have been away from any village, and adjacent to the ancient feature of Lady Well, just over a kilometre upstream of where the photographer was standing. The public footpath (which is to the right of the drystone wall over which the shot was taken and which is not visible) passes to the right of the Mill and continues only to the minor road just beyond it.

Start of track to Coatflatt Hall

The track is not a public right of way, but the owners of the land where the public footpath leaves it to head south for Tebay bridge have made the gate so difficult to open that I gave up and walked to the road here, thus gaining a square I hadn't intended to visit.
