Mansergh High Farm
Mansergh High Farm, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.
In the 18th century, this remote farmhouse high on the hills above the Lune Valley was The Packhorse Inn, a pub and resting place for drovers, packhorses, and large herds of sheep or cattle. Sometimes the droving processions would have been led by a Scottish piper. This packhorse route across the Lune Valley may have been on the Galloway Gate, a droving and packhorse route that ran from Scotland to England. If not on the Galloway Gate itself, this route would certainly have linked to it. The plaque above the porch of the farmhouse bears the relief of a packhorse and is dated 1732.
