Although the walk dates back to the era of Henry VIII and the original route was from Hest bank to Kents bank, due to the soft sand at Hest Bank therefore the route is now Arnside to Grange.
The walk from Arnside is a lovely walk with a varied terrain and is between 5.5 to 9 miles depending on the safest route.
The Morecambe Bay sands are renowned for their quick sands and fast flowing tides. Crossing the sands has always been dangerous. The Guide over Sands Trust is a charity which provides two guides, to offer safe passage across both Kent and Leven Estuaries.
We hope that having some knowledge about the Bay itself will make that experience even more valuable and help us all protect a very special and much-loved natural environment.
Morecambe Bay forms one of the two largest areas of the intertidal estuarine flats in Britain and provides a vital link in the chain of west coast estuaries used by thousands of migrating birds for feeding and roosting.
Looking across the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay from one coastline to the other inspires and amazes us, and to have the opportunity to walk across the Bay gives us an exceptional opportunity to immerse ourselves in the wonder and dynamic environment of the bay.
