Clearly the A6, following the line of a Roman Road, originally went through High Hesket. But a bypass was built a short distance to the west of the village between the two World Wars - so long ago that I have not been able to establish an exact date. The A6 can be seen at the junction some way ahead. Of course that, in its turn, is now bypassed by the M6.
