This village has views of the Lake District fells and even has a micro-brewery overlooking a railway line
Nestled on the Lancashire coast between Morecambe and Carnforth is the sleepy village of Hest Bank. Set slightly away from the shoreline, it’s a place where pastoral canal walks meet salty sea air.
In fact the village’s pub, The Hest Bank, occupies a former coaching inn where weary travellers could spend the night. In the early 19th century the inn even constructed a lantern room to guide coaches, while its stable could hold up to 16 horses and four drivers. Hest Bank used to have a small railway station on the main London to Glasgow line, but in 1965 there was a rail accident where a sleeper train came off the rails and collided with the station buildings. Although no one was seriously injured, the station was subsequently closed and the structures have since disappeared.
