Bloody Bones Lane
The name of this footpath is shown as such on a street map, but what dark history lies behind the name? Possibly a skirmish in the Jacobite rebellion? An alternative derivation is that of "the place where cattle were buried during the cattle plague which ravaged the country in the year 1747" (from Legends & Historical Notes of North Westmorland by Thomas Gibson (1887), quoted by a site visitor). Now it's just the start of a footpath.
