Follow the Public Right of Way parallel to the dual carriageway and take the signposted stile and steps up to the main road. Note the OS map takes you round to the left to join Moss Road from where you need to walk back to the main road. Continue along Moss Road (unclassified). Pass North Farm and continue on the road to Downlands Farm where the road ends....

(a) As per the original Slow Ways route there is a farm track passing under the dual carriageway road. (b) Follow the Public Right of Way parallel to the dual carriageway and take the signposted stile and steps up to the main road. Note the OS map takes you round to the left to join Moss Road from where you need to walk back to the main road. Continue along Moss Road (unclassified) to pass the locked gate mentioned in (a). The owners don’t recommend taking this route (and neither do we) so bear left and right round the large building, go straight on through 2 very narrow open spaces in the fences and into the field which was rather muddy at the time of our visit....

A little bit more pavement pacing takes you over the railway and past Morecambe’s football ground, and you soon reach the next cycle track adjacent to a primary school. The supermarket between the industrial estate the sports centre, and also one on the B5321 a short detour from the north end of the long straight bit of cycle track, both have cafés and toilets, and there are several benches along the route too....

Downlands Farm itself has a small gap between the metal fence posts to gain access through the farmyard but the ground was impassable (liquid mud and other farm related brownness) so we had to go along the fence a little and duck under instead. The road after North Farm to the roundabout is not marked as a public right of way but there's nothing preventing you from walking it. The farmer had blocked this off with an old metal gate tied on with a piece of rope - he explained this was to stop sheep escaping to the main road....

Pavement and pedestrianised promenade all the way, suitable for all abilities (one steepish slope of ~ 100m) and wheelchairs...

It is flat except for 1 slope down (heading north) with views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District for all of the route. Regular information plaques give added interest and there are plenty of seats from which to admire the view. The additional features of St Peters Church and St Patricks chapel (ruin) on Chapel Hill are present via a short detour at Heysham....

This route is in error, It is virtually all at sea requiring use of the ferry for 64 miles.....

A gentle perambulation along the flat, smooth seafront (so suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs) enjoying the panoramic views across Morecambe Bay. And you have the added bonus of being distracted by distance markers and information plaques embedded in the surface....

The route crosses a bridge over the railway then follows well-used but narrow lanes before crossing farm fields (with unclear paths, but fairly easy to spot points to aim for), then passes through a couple of farms. The route out of North Farm to the A683 bypass is a short, surfaced road, although it is not marked as a public right of way. The route passes between the railway and some housing and through to a meadow, then onto a cycle track, under a dark bridge below the railway and up another cycle track to the station....

Apart from a short walk along a residential road at the Heysham end, this walk entirely follows the excellent and popular promenade, with stunning views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District (if the weather is clear). This must be one of the best Slow Ways to do with children – it is short and has at least three play areas, plus beaches, cafés, and ice cream shops! There is also a wealth of birdlife....

A lovely easy walk mainly following the coastline along a well designed pedestrianised promenade. Spectacular views of Morecambe Bay....
