Watching the sun go down over Morecambe Bay is the stuff memories are made of.
If you haven’t hear about Cumbria’s classic seaside towns and coastal views, it’s time to take a stroll along the prom at Arnside or Grange-over-Sands.
Artsy Ulverston is jam-packed with character; from its quirky cafes and foodie hotspots to colourfully rendered houses and cobbled streets. It even has its own award-winning gin distillery, an historic priory-turned internationally renowned Buddhist centre and a museum dedicated to Laurel & Hardy (this was Stan’s birthplace, after all).
Take the ultimate ‘road with a view’ to Barrow for its virtually uninterrupted coastal scenery. Then step back almost 900 years with a visit to the magnificent Furness Abbey, explore the area’s rich maritime history at Barrow’s Dock Museum or even try a spot of seal watching at South Walney Nature Reserve. For some retail therapy, Barrow Market Hall is one of the Cumbria’s largest indoor markets.
Other highlights include the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the eastern side of the bay. From birds to butterflies, it’s known for abundant wildlife, ancient woodlands and an elaborate mosaic of stunning limestone pavements. And can you find the enchanted ‘Fairy Steps’ at Beetham?
Whether it’s an exhilarating bike ride for two or a family-friendly cycling trip, the Morecambe Bay cycleway is the perfect place to reconnect with nature on two wheels. Whatever your age, interest or ability, this fairly flat coastal route takes in some fantastic views, with plenty of quirky towns and villages worth hopping on and off your bike for.
Morecambe Bay is also the perfect place to eat, from scrumptious pub grub to top-notch dining for a special occasion. Cartmel has earned itself a national reputation for culinary excellence thanks largely to superstar chef Simon Rogan, whose two restaurants in the village have three Michelin stars between them. And that’s not forgetting the world-famous sticky toffee pudding, proudly sold in Cartmel village shop.
You can walk off those tasty treats at nearby Holker Hall & Gardens. Framed by the Lakeland Hills, the estate includes 200 acres of parkland and its own herd of fallow deer.
Find your perfect place to stay in and around the Morecambe Bay area- All around the bay there’s wonderful food to be had, from scrumptious pub grub to sophisticated dining.
