Outdoor Explorers
Escape to stunning landscapes in an area which has inpired famous poets and artists down the centuries. Hike along the dramatic coastline of Morecambe Bay and Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or explore the idyllic Lune Valley and Bowland Fells.
Morecambe Bay is famed for its stunning coastal scenery and sunsets. Leading into the Arnside and Silverdale AONB the area forms a unique habitat for thousands of birds and rare wildlife, looking onto the striking Lakeland Fells. Close by, the tranquil Lune Valley has provided much inspiration to the likes of Turner and Wordsworth as it fringes onto the fells and valleys of the Forest of Bowland AONB.
Explore the coastal limestone pavements, salt marshes and views of Morecambe Bay on foot, or hike and rock climb up its crags. Enjoy time fishing, bird watching and spotting rare butterflies, or uncover the pretty Lune Valley. Share a sedate picnic at the Crook O'Lune, or even try an exhilarating kayak down the river's rapids. And after action-packed day outdoors, enjoy a cosy open fire with fine ale.
