Lancaster Ramblers
16 Jun 2022This pleasant walk combines the promenade, the access land near Hest Bank and the coastline to the caravan park at Bolton-le-Sands but omits the poor stretch of path across the marsh. It follows the bridleway through the caravan park then the path parallel to the coast and on to Carnforth.
The first 2 miles are on the paved Morecambe promenade with views across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland fells. The coast is followed through the café car park. This leads onto the Access land of the beach which can be stony and subject to tides. An alternative is to follow the pavement on the main road into the village of Hest Bank. From there, the coastal path is followed past Bolton-le-Sands, affording excellent views of Grange-over-Sands and Lakeland, to the caravan park. Just after the path to the marsh is taken, the caravan park is entered and the route passes along the public bridleway to just before the park entrance. A path is then followed through the fields parallel to the coast followed by roads and urban paths into Carnforth.
