317 March Walks from Arnside

Our first walk of the 2011 season will be from that area of outstanding natural beauty [AONB] of the ARNSIDE and SILVERDALE coastline and will be on

Saturday 12th March 2011
0800hrs prompt from short stay car park

There will be three walks;
  • A Walk led by Beverley Kelly, linear walk from Yealand Conyers
  • B Walk led by Keith Scott
  • C Walk led by Norman Jones

Please look and decide before you get on the coach as the journey is only short and insufficient time for everyone to read the walk descriptions

Arnside is a modest sized, unspoilt, holiday resort on the estuary where the River Kent enters Morecambe Bay.

This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the town offer stunning views across Morecambe Bay as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history.

It is a haven for birds, and the surrounding countryside contains a wealth of flora and fauna. Here is the National Trust owned Arnside Knott, a 520 ft high flat rock, which with neighbouring Silverdale in Lancashire, has done much to secure the designation of 'Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty'. It has many lovely wooded walks around Arnside Knott, up to the "Pepper-Pot" at Silverdale or around the coast with its cliff top walks and sea views.
