Ingleby Cross to Clay Bank Top - Lord Stones cafe - Wainwright coast to coast C2C walk

Lord Stone's Cafe between Carlton Bank & Busby Moor.
This is the famous subterranean cafe which is cut into the moorland rock at the top of Carlton Bank.
Just behind the cafe lie the remains of the original Three Lords Stone which, centuries ago, marked the estate boundaries of 3 local Lords.
It is also the site of some Bronze Age burial mounds, or tumuli, from where many flint arrowheads dating back over 5,000 years were discovered.
