OVERVIEW A nice easy route mainly on quiet country lanes with a loop around leafy Scorton Country Park in the middle. Although most people wouldn't take a second glance at most Motorway Service Areas!, this one actually has quite an architectural interest due to its distinctive central tower, called the Pennine Tower which was originally a restaurant but was closed due to modern health and safety requirements. Lancaster Services (originally named Forton Services) was only the 2nd to be built in the U.K. (in 1965). So, you can tell the family there is a good modern architectural reason to stop at the Services, and whilst you are there you can just pop out for a run! |
