Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
and will
be on
Saturday 8th March 2014

This extraordinary place is famous for its amazing wildlife, stunning scenery, and superb walks. From the simple beauty of the lady's-slipper orchid to the shining sands of Morecambe Bay, the area is simply awe-inspiring - full of natural spectacles and a surprise around every corner.
The work of the AONB Partnership aims to conserve and enhance this outstanding landscape now and for the future.

There will be three walks;
- A Walk led by Peter Hitchcock
- B Walk led by Beverley Kelly
- C Walk led by Les Gibson
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
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.
