Wray railway station was a short-lived station near the village of Wray in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, England. The station was opened on a temporary basis by the "Little" North Western Railway on their route between Skipton and Lancaster, and was closed after just ten months of operation in the summer of 1850. The station was a single-building cottage and was administered by John Bee until 1891.The line remained in use until closure to passengers in 1966 between Wennington and Morecambe Promenade. Freight services finished the following year in 1967 and the track was subsequently dismantled. The old formation has since been returned to agricultural land. The course of the route can still be followed from nearby roads and on satellite images, with several overbridges still standing.

Ward's Stone is the highest hill in the Forest of Bowland, England. Its flat top hides two trig points nearly a kilometre apart. The western trig point sits atop of large rocks, including one, the Ward's Stone, that is so large it attracts boulderers and climbers. The path from Grit Fell is difficult: crossing Cabin Flat, it weaves its way across hidden pools of stagnant water, the presence of which is betrayed by a form of red grass. White markers supposedly point out the way, but more often result in leading the walker astray. The second trig points faces the empty vastness of the eastern Forest of Bowland, with the summits of Wolfhole Crag, White Hill and the distant Ingleborough breaking the horizon. A second path approaches Ward's Stone from Tarnbrook, where limited parking is available. On the southern slope of this hill are Thorn Crag, Hell Crag and Long Crag, rocky outcroppings that are popular with climbers. Within Thorn Crag, a shallow cave system exists that leads to Hell Crag; this route was first traversed by Lancaster University Mountaineering Club.

Hornby railway station served the village of Hornby in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, England. The station was located in a cutting off Station Road and was constructed by the "Little" North Western Railway' opening with the line in November 1849 (though through traffic towards Skipton and beyond didn't commence until the following summer). The line eastwards towards Wennington was doubled soon after opening but westwards to Lancaster, it remained single track until 1889. It was closed to passenger traffic in September 1957 by the British Transport Commission due to declining usage. The line remained in use until closure to passengers in January 1966 between Wennington and Morecambe. Freight services finished the following year in June 1967 and the line was later dismantled. Much of the route has since been returned to agricultural use. The station site is now occupied by a housing development, though the formation either side can still be traced.
