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.
