Discover the breathtaking beauty of Morecambe Bay, a hidden gem on Lancashire's coast. From the mesmerizing Salt Marsh at Hest Bank, where nature thrives in harmony with the tides, to the impressive Platform and drilling rigs of the Morecambe Bay gas field, this region is a testament to human innovation and natural wonders. As you stroll along the shoreline, you'll be captivated by the charming coastal village that stands as the only community on UK's shores. Boats gently bobbing in the water create a picturesque scene against quaint houses, reminding us of simpler times. History echoes through every corner of Morecambe Bay. The limestone embankment serves as a reminder of an ambitious land reclamation scheme from 1873 - a relic standing tall amidst modern development. Grange-Over-Sands, depicted beautifully by artist Gilbert Wilson in 1896, transports us back to its golden era. Witnessing a sunset over Barrow in Furness town and shipyard is truly awe-inspiring. Cumbria's industrial past merges with natural beauty as vibrant colors paint the sky above this historic town. Morecambe itself has undergone remarkable transformation thanks to Lancaster City Councils' Tern Project. Once a faded Victorian seaside resort in decline, it now rises like a phoenix from ashes - reinventing itself as an alluring destination for visitors seeking charm and rejuvenation. Heysham takes us even further back in time with its captivating oil painting from 1853. This ancient village holds secrets within its walls that whisper tales of generations gone by. Lancaster Sands immortalizes moments between 1816-1825 through delicate watercolor paintings on paper - capturing both tranquility and power within each stroke. Engravings depict Morecambe Bay surrounded by majestic Lake Mountains while showcasing its famous Promenade and Old Pier - forever etched into history alongside scenes of late boating disasters that remind us of the power and unpredictability of nature.
