For fear of causing traffic jams and crowds, I wasn't going to draw your attention to a corner of North Lancashire (or is it South Cumbria?) which is often passed by on the drive to the Lake District. But with the best B&B in England (http://www.no43.org.uk/) , a beach which rivals any on the West Coast and a handfull of small businesses offering quality sevices, I thought that it was only right that I give Arnside and Silverdale a bit of profile.
Nestling on the edge of Morecambe Bay and the estuary of the River Kent, this area seems to have a micro climate all of its own with more sunny days than its inland neighbours. From the top of Arnside Knott - just a short walk up the 150m high hill from the village - the view across the Bay to the Lakeland Fells is spectacular.
For a top day out, take a picnic to Sandside beach, buy an ice cream from the van on the Prom, have tea and cakes in the Cafe at the Wolfhouse Art Gallery in the Forest at Silverdale. Oh, and make sure you leave time to climb to the top of the hill for the views!
