Overview

Setting off from Bolton-le-Sands we walk very briefly along the Lancaster canal, before heading out to the coast to join and walk a section of the Lancashire Coastal Way, enjoying views across Morecambe Bay. On the outskirts of Morecambe we head back inland towards Hest Bank, Slyne & Ancliffe Hall. As we return making our final descent to Bolton-le-Sands on a clear day we should get our last chance of the walk to admire the sweeping views across the bay.
