The footpaths around North Walney Nature Reserve are really nice to walk. Lots of wildlife, peace and quiet and gorgeous views out towards the Isle of Man on once side and the Lake District fells on the other.

Its a great structure and an amazing view.....but it is not a lighthouse! It is a Leading Light.

Towards the southern tip of the historic Furness Peninsula, Rampside is a small village with big sea views. It is connected to Roa Island by a causeway and from there you can take the ferry to Piel Island and its impressive castle. The Cistercian monks of Furness Abbey used the village as a small port. Wordsworth visited the village in 1805 and wrote a verse about the splendid view.

Once second only to Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire in terms of wealth and power, Furness Abbey was a Cistercian monastery of great importance. Today, it is an impressive sandstone ruin and an evocative vestige of former glory. The site contains a number of Grade I-listed buildings and is a Scheduled Monument. Built in 1123, it is located in the Vale of Nightshade to the south of Dalton. It was passed to the Cistercians in 1147. During their time here, the Cistercians built the nearby Piel Castle on Piel Island to oversee trade between the Furness Peninsula and another of their strongholds: the Isle of Man. On the orders of Henry VIII, the abbey was destroyed 1537.

Dalton Castle is a Grade I-listed pele tower in the Cumbrian town of Dalton. Constructed by the monks of Furness Abbey in the 14th-century, it was an important defense against marauding Scots. The building has also been at the heart of the region's justice system, serving as both a prison and as a venue from which the abbot administered legal matters.

Dalton was once the administrative centre of the Furness Peninsula and is still a vibrant town today. There are a good number of accommodation options in the town, as well as places to eat. It is a good base for exploring the spectacular South Lakes and the beautiful Leven, Kent and Duddon Estuaries. It is on the Furness railway line, with connections to Barrow, Ulverston, Grange-over-Sands and Lancaster.

An impressive finger of limestone that juts out into the Duddon Estuary, Dunnerholme is a good spot for lunch. Whilst you shelter from the wind, take in the beautiful estuary views and sweeping sands. Further afield Black Combe rises beyond Millom and to the north are distant profiles of the Coniston and Scafell mountains.

Containing nearly 600 species of flora, Sandscale Haws' system of sand dunes is a botanist's dream. Amphibian enthusiasts are also well served here, with 15% of Britain's natterjack toads found on the site. Boardwalks allow access to some of the pools. You can expect stirring views of the Duddon Estuary and the Lakeland Fells around every corner.
