Saturday Afternoon walk near Morecambe Bay – 2nd March 13
After several days of bright sunshine, Saturday again started off in a similar vein so we decided to drive up towards Silverdale for a walk along the Lancashire Coastal Way (LCW). I’d seen the walk in a new Magazine called Lancashire Walks and Wildlife.
This particular article was written by Beth Pipe, whose Blogs/Tweets I follow and was around an area I’d cycled many times, but Alison had never visited.
By the time we parked at Quaker’s Stang car park and set off along the LCW, the weather had turned cloudy and grey but that didn’t deter us. The route leaves the car park and goes under a rail bridge and then across fields towards Jenny Brown’s Point. Jenny was apparently a Nanny who drowned trying to save the children in her care.

The Chimney at the Point is very impressive and thousands of people must have taken a pic of it over the years. Apparently it dates back to the 1700s and was used for copper smelting.

All in all a good trip and just what we needed. For a full set of pics click HERE.
