Patton Bridge

England

Patton Bridge lies in the Cumbrian countryside between Kendal and the M6, accessible via the A591 and local roads from Junction 37. Long-distance visitors typically approach through the Lune Valley on the A6, whilst locals use the network of minor roads connecting nearby villages like Meal Bank and Grayrigg. The settlement sits in the River Kent valley amongst the rolling fells characteristic of southern Cumbria. The old stone bridge crossing the River Kent gives the place its name and remains a focal point for the scattered farming community.
