Silverdale and the surrounding area

Silverdale, has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The AONB, first designated in 1972, spans the county boundary between Lancashire and Cumbria and covers an area of approximately 75sq kms. The main features of the AONB are the small scale limestone hills, deciduous woodlands and agricultural land which occurs in the valleys.

Within a small area there is an intimate variation of scenery, including bare limestone pavements, salt marsh, foreshore fen, parkland, woodland and agricultural land. The area is particularly notable for the limestone pavement, which forms an unique and irreplaceable landscape, now protected by Limestone Pavement Orders.

The AONB office has produced a leaflet listing 6 linear walks within the AONB area. The walks can be done in conjunction with The Bittern Bus Sunday Service to 'Hail And Ride'. Further details of The Bittern Bus can be found as a seperate attraction. Also the walking leaflet & Bus Timetable can be obtained from Morecambe (01524) 582808 Or Lancaster (01524) 32878 Tourist Information Centres.
