The Chimney on the Shore

Highlight • Historical Site

It is widely speculated that the chimney represents the remnants of an illegal copper mining and smelting endeavour established by Robert Gibson during the 1780s.

Tip by

8.73 km

This small headland in the Silverdale parish is adorned with an intriguing grade-II listed chimney. Its origin is something of a subject for debate, with some believing it to be associated with copper smelting. There is also some uncertainty over who Jenny Brown was, though possibly the best tale is that she was a lover who would wait at the point for her lost sailor to return.

Wolf & Us Beach House & Bar

Highlight • Restaurant

There is some roadside parking but it does get used quickly. The café is great, some hot food as well as cakes and hot and cold drinks. Tea and coffee from Atkinsons of Lancaster - such good quality.

View of Morecambe Bay from Silverdale

Highlight • Beach

On the border between Cumbria and Lancaster, the village of Silverdale and its surroundings are an absolute delight for hikers.

It is part of the Arnside and Silverdale AONB, a region of small limestone hills, lovely coast and mixed woodland. Ascents of both Warton Crag and Arnside Knott are straightforward and reward with excellent views over Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells.

As well as all of this, both the Cumbria Coastal Way and the Lancashire Coastal Way start or end at Silverdale. It is a short drive from the M6 and has its own train station on the Furness Line.
