An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) not to be missed.
Woodside and Fell View Cottages-Quality accommodation in the Lakes
Today I
thought I would share with you an area that is often overlooked as it’s
just outside the Lake District National Park. It’s Arnside &
Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s across the Morecambe
Bay and opposite Grange over Sands. http://www.arnsidesilverdaleaonb.org.uk/
This extraordinary place is famous for its amazing wildlife, stunning scenery, and superb walks. From the simple beauty of the lady’s-slipper orchid to the shining sands of Morecambe Bay, the area is simply awe-inspiring.
A great way to visit the area is by train, if you fancy a day off from driving, as there’s a station at both Arnside and Silverdale.

There are 5 major villages to enjoy:
Arnside, Silverdale, Beetham, The Yealands and Wharton all worth an
explore! From a Victorian seaside resort to a village with connections
to the first president of the United States, the villages of the AONB
will take you back in time and reveal an interesting history.

A great place to visit in the area is the Heritage Centre and Refreshment Room at Carnforth station
which offers you the chance to take a step back in time! Opened in 2003
following an extensive renovation project, the centre attracts visitors
from all over the world who come to experience the 1940s’ atmosphere of
David Lean’s film ‘Brief Encounter’ which was filmed here. http://www.carnforthstation.co.uk/
