High above the little town of Burton-in-Kendal rises the limestone pavement of Hutton Roof Crags. Here rare plants grow in rocky clefts and the view stretches from Lakeland to Yorkshire. Once the town's corn market was the biggest in the county, but its attractive main street is probably now quieter than it has ever been.
