INTRODUCTION

The combination of perhaps the best coastal scenery and the highest concentration of intricate woodland paths in north-west England make the Silverdale area a wonderful place to visit. There are low hills with exquisite woodland paths and old parkland, and areas of limestone grassland and pavement. Views are memorable over Morecambe Bay, the hills of the Lake District or back to the long line of the Pennines. The once extensive salt-marsh that made walking easy on the grassy shore is now but a memory, yet the upside is a more rugged sea-swept coastline.
