Overview

There will be two walks on this visit to Silverdale !

Walk one will be led by David & will take in the woods, & coastal paths of the beautiful surrounding area & it will be a eight mile circular walk !

Walk two will be led by Pat & Phil it will also take in an area similar to the eight  mile walk but will be shorter by three miles coming in at a five mile circular walk !

Both these walks on a clear day should give us spectacular views of the surrounding area ! 

Silverdale is a small but thriving village in Lancashire situated on the border with Cumbria and facing westwards into Morecambe Bay. It is located within one of Britain's smallest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AONB !

For your own and other people's safety please abide by any advice and guidance issued by the group and the instructions of the walk leaders.Every care is taken in planning our walks but we can accept no liability and participation is entirely at your own risk.
