Grange-over-Sands' climate is drier and milder than the rest of Cumbria and its location within the Lake District Peninsulas affords tremendous views over Morecambe Bay and the River Kent estuary. The mile long promenade walk is traffic free and looks down on the rich and varied bird life on the sand
flats. Away from the shoreline the wooded hillside rises gently to viewpoints looking across the estuary and the nearby Lakeland peaks. As a holiday base it is ideally situated to explore the high fells of the Lake District including the Helvellyn range, and the Kentmere horseshoe. Alternatively, for those who prefer more gentle walking, there is much choice. Outstanding is the beautiful Cartmel peninsula, the enchantment of Tarn Hows, and Grizedale forest with its nature and cycling trails. Across the estuary from Grangeways is an area of outstanding natural
beauty at Arnside and Silverdale including the RSPB Reserve at Leighton Moss. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is only 20 miles away, with the Three Peaks and the spectacular Dales limestone scenery. There are a number of long distance waymarked paths also close to hand - The Cistercian Way, Limestone Link, Dales Way, Westmorland Way, Cumbrian Way as well as the recently completed Cumbrian Coastal path. For cyclists, Grange-over-Sands is also located on the Cumbrian Cycleway. There is often the opportunity to complete the famous Morecambe Bay Sands crossing with Cedric Robinson, the official Queen's Guide to the sands. A holiday at Grangeways will take time to investigate the natural history and ecology of these areas as well as enjoying the magnificent lake and mountain scenery.
