The Lune River lies in the Lune Valley, in the district of Lancaster and meanders gently through rolling green pastures and stone Lancashire villages.
The Lune borders the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales and there are plenty of riverside walks that can accessed from Lancaster.
I was hoping for dipper but only managed a pair of common sandpiper, kingfisher, lesser redpoll and siskin.
The River Lune derives its name from the Old English word Lon which has its origins in an Irish Celtic word meaning health giving.
