Discover Morecambe Bay’s Accessible Routes For All Users

Morecambe Bay is a great place to explore, with amazing sunsets natural landscapes and one of the most beautiful coastlines in Britain.

Morecambe Bay is a big area which stretches from the south west coast of Cumbria to Fleetwood in Lancashire and along the way you can visit coastal towns such as Grange-over-Sands, Morecambe and Heysham. The headlands of Morecambe Bay offer spectacular, seascape views; with wide-open vistas across the tidal sand and mud flats towards the Lake District and the Bowland Fells.

The Bay also contains a superb array of wildlife, such as oystercatchers and other waders marching up the shore at Hest Bank, Bolton-le-Sands, in front of the advancing tides, to seals lazing around the south tip of Walney.

The More to Explore project is developing a series of all-ability routes and associated all-terrain mobility scooter hire venues. The aim is to open up parts of Morecambe Bay to a wider range of users from families with pushchairs to wheelchair users, allowing the discovery and exploration of the rich cultural and environmental heritage of the area.

The project is at an early stage – currently piloting an initial series of routes and working with partners to establish a network of hire venues and volunteers. Morecambe Bay Partnership is committed to continue to develop and promote more facilities as the project develops.
