Arnside Knott

Arnisde Knott is one of the crowning jewels of the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Natural Beauty. Interestingly, at 522 feet (159 m) it is the lowest of all the 2,011 Marilyn hills, which are defined as UK peaks with a prominence of 492 feet (150 m) or more.

It's a great place to spot wildlife. Its mixed woodland and limestone grassland make it a vibrant place, with beautiful butterflies and wildflowers come spring and summer. The views are extensive too, with the Lakeland Fells rising to the north west and the Yorkshire Dales to the east.

Arnside Knott is a beautiful area with loads of different paths and trails up to and around it. Lovely circular route along the coast between Arnside & Silverdale but just check the tides before starting as part of it is inaccessible at high tides and part of it needed a bit of scrambling so not suitable for all. We saw a Red Kite hovering above us as we sat on the Knott eating our lunch.

Arnside knott sits above the village of Arnside and is approached through beautiful woodland. There are many paths and view points where you can see Morecombe Bay and the Lake District.
