More about this scene
Beneath massive trees a woman cyclist chats to a villager and her child (center left). On the right is the Castle Hotel, named after Hornby Castle overlooking the River Wenning. The lower parts of the tower date from the 13th century, but it was re-built in the 19th century. When the castle was left empty it became rat-infested. On my visit to the strong room, I was fascinated to see tiny pipistrelle bats. The railway station, demolished in 1968, stood on the old drove road leading to the fells we can just see in the background.
