County boundary at Mewith

This sign where Mewith Lane crosses the Eskew Beck marks the boundary between Lancashire and North Yorkshire. Barely three hours into my four-day ride across the country on the Way of the Roses, this demonstrates how Yorkshire actually covers about 90% of the width of the North of England. As a Lancastrian by birth but married to a Yorkshire lass, I am in no position to say whether that is a good thing. To the right, next to the bicycle, is a parish boundary stone Image
