Crooklands, Cumbria


Crooklands is a hamlet in Cumbria, located on the A65 road, about 5 miles south of Kendal and 1 mile south of the village of Endmoor. The hamlet is situated near Peasey Beck and the Lancaster Canal. There is an old aqueduct carrying the canal over the beck, built in c.1818, when the canal was constructed. Crooklands Bridge, a road bridge over the canal, was built at the same time. The Crooklands (hotel) began life as a farm house dating back to the mid 18th century, with later alterations. Also in Crooklands is the showground for the annual Westmorland County Show, which is located at Lane Farm. Crooklands forms part of Preston Richard Civil Parish and is within the Westmorland & Furness Council area.
