THE LOCAL AREA:
• CARNFORTH is most famous for having the station where Brief Encounter was filmed during the Second World War and there is now an interesting visitor centre. The café has also been restored and is just the place for a cup of tea and a Celia Johnson moment. Carnforth also has the North West’s biggest second hand bookshop, a branch of the award winning Booth’s supermarkets and various pubs, cafes and takeaway shops.
• The seaside town of MORECAMBE is 5 miles away and is currently undergoing a period of regeneration. New shops, restaurants and coffee bars are quickly replacing the jaded arcades. Art has been interwoven at every step and the crowning glory, the Midland Hotel, has been lovingly restored and updated. On a sunny day there is nowhere better than sitting on the golden sand with the spectacular view across the bay to the Lakes mountains.
• Historic LANCASTER, with its two universities, is a city of learning and a city of stories. It is a city where the past lives comfortably with the present. Splendid stone facades hark back to its heyday as a Georgian port, quirky independent shops rub shoulders with a smattering of well-known stores, museums and monuments are enjoyed by old and young, and bars and restaurants bustle with locals.
• For miles and miles around is rolling countryside dotted with sleepy villages, pretty ports and quiet bays.
• SILVERDALE is Britain’s smallest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Wander through the village and stock up at the local shops including a butcher, baker and greengrocer all stocking fresh produce that is grown locally.
Walk down to the sea at Jenny Brown’s Point for a panoramic view across the bay. Nearby Leighton Moss, run by the RSPB, is home to special birds such as breeding bitterns and bearded tits, as well as deer, and butterflies. An easy walk through the trees at Woodwell can end at The Wolfhouse Gallery which features contemporary and traditional arts, crafts, gifts, jewellery, and tearooms with homemade cakes that are definitely worth stopping for.
In the evening, Silverdale has 2 friendly pubs, The Woodlands and The Silverdale Hotel as well as an extremely good Italian restaurant.
• ARNSIDE: Arnside Knott (522ft) dominates a rocky peninsula where the village of Arnside stands. In days gone by, small coasters, steamers and yachts called at landings in Arnside, but when the estuary began to silt up, Arnside lost its marine ties.
Today, Arnside's many visitors enjoy strolling through the bustling seaside village. Catch the remarkable sight of the tide as it sweeps up the bay and enjoy a supper of fish and chips on the beach, watching the salmon leap as the sun sets.
• KENDAL: The 'Gateway to the Lakes' is a mere 15 miles away, and provides good shopping facilities, including a market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Kendal has a theatre and cinema, a 13th Century parish church, Abbot Hall Art Gallery, a museum offering a glimpse of Lakeland life throughout the ages – and mint cake – lots of it.
• THE LAKE DISTRICT:
The beautiful landscapes of the Lakes are favourites among walkers, while the forests, fells and waterways provide the setting for many sporting activities. Visit historic villages and famous locations such as the former homes of Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and the poet Wordsworth
