Arnside and Silverdale

Arnside & Silverdale sits along the edge of Morecambe Bay, where coastline, woodland and limestone hills come together in one of the country’s designated National Landscapes. The area is known for its variety of habitats, from salt marshes to ancient woodland, creating ideal conditions for wildlife. RSPB Leighton Moss in Silverdale is a standout location, with its extensive reed beds attracting species such as bitterns, marsh harriers and bearded tits, making it a popular spot for birdwatching throughout the year.

The villages themselves add to the appeal, with Arnside’s promenade offering views across the bay and a line of independent shops and places to eat, especially popular at sunset. Walking routes are easy to pick up, whether heading up to Arnside Knott for elevated views or exploring woodland paths around Silverdale and Leighton Hall. With a mix of nature reserves, local attractions and places to stay, Arnside & Silverdale offers plenty of ways to spend time surrounded by some of Lancashire’s most distinctive scenery.
