Where shifting tides meet limestone hills, and every walk offers a new perspective over Morecambe Bay.
Arnside is a charming coastal village at the edge of the Kent Estuary, forming part of the Arnside & Silverdale National Landscape (AONB). It’s a perfect base for walking holidays and outdoor adventures, with the England Coast Path – Arnside & Silverdale Section running right through the village and short routes leading to viewpoints like Arnside Knott and the wooded trails of Eaves Wood.
Life here moves at a gentle pace. The promenade looks out over vast sands and fast-moving tides, while narrow lanes lead to cafés, local shops, and the railway station — making car-free exploration easy. From Arnside, you can follow the coast, wander through nature reserves, or head inland to rolling farmland and limestone ridges.
Adventure in Arnside is about variety. You might spend one day spotting birdlife at nearby Leighton Moss, another climbing to panoramic viewpoints, and another tracing the shoreline on the England Coast Path. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer walking break, this is a place where the coast and countryside meet in perfect balance.
