A Walk at Arnside No 317

Silverdale Coastal Walk
Distance: 10+ miles
Total ascent: 840 ft
Total descent: 920ft



This is a walk of variety, exploration and surprises in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Whilst there are no Mountains to climb there is a level of fitness required to traverse the clifftop walks and to enjoy the rock scrambling. The distance is not one to endure as we have 5-6hrs, indeed care needs to be taken not only for safety but so as not to miss the wonderful ever changing views and the abundance of wildlife, particularly as we pass the Leighton Moss RSPB reserve and estuary.
 

As this is a linear walk, we will leave the bus at Yealand Conyers and as it is a short journey from Formby, I anticipate that we will be walking by 0930hrs at the latest.

I can promise you wildlife, history, a smugglers cove, a writers place of inspiration, daring cliff tops, magical bays, beautiful views and a lovely teashop at the end and if the weather is kind it will be a walk to remember and to return to on your own.
