The historic villages of Arnside and Silverdale sit on the coastline
of Morecambe Bay in a spot that’s been designated an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty thanks to its rich diversity of habitats. Its woodlands,
limestone grasslands and coastal salt marshes are enclosed by low
limestone hills creating a perfect environment for rare butterflies
and marshland birds. You can discover the rich birdlife on a visit
to Leighton Moss RSPB in Silverdale, where the largest reed bed
in the north-west attracts more than 100 species of bird, including
breeding bitterns, bearded tits and marsh harriers. Spring is the
best time of year to spot colourful butterflies flitting along the
reserve trails. There’s a shop and cosy tea room serving slabs of
cake and home-cooked meals where you can warm up afterwards. The
quaint village of Arnside is a tempting spot with a pretty Victorian
parade of shops along the promenade and a choice of pubs from which
to enjoy the spectacular sunset overlooking the Bay. There are plenty
of walks in the surrounding woodland. Head up to Arnside Knott to
enjoy the sweeping sea views?
