Kellet’s village pub is the Limeburner’s Arms, a highly appropriate name as there are still working quarries nearby. It’s probably the most traditional pub on the Cycleway route. Don’t expect food, and don’t expect to find it open in the daytime either.
Turn left at a T junction onto the B6254 and go down into Carnforth over a narrow bridge with traffic lights, crossing the Lancaster Canal. Go straight ahead at the next set of traffic lights and down to pass Carnforth Station.
Carnforth boasts one of the best second-hand bookshops in the north-west, and a variety of pubs and cafés. The main claim to fame is Carnforth Station, which was a principal location for one of the all-time classic British movies, Brief Encounter (released in 1945 and starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard). There’s a pleasant tearoom (it lacks the smoky atmosphere of the film, which may be why it’s pleasant) and some intriguing historical displays. The curved platforms that provided so many great camera angles have also been spruced up. Don’t miss the platform clock, which figured significantly in the film.

Continue over one railway bridge (over the West Coast Main Line), then under a second (the line to Leeds). Turn left before a third bridge to follow a minor road alongside the muddy River Keer.
