Morecambe, Lancashire

There's lots to see and do in Lancashire. A hot air balloon flight may be perfect for a birthday gift or special celebration.

The seaside and market town of Morecambe is east of Morcambe Bay. It has splendid views across the bay to Barrow-in-Furness and Grange-over-Sands (now in Cumbria).

There are many leisure facilities along the Morecambe promenade as far as Heysham. These include bowling greens, croquet & junior golf courses, model and small boating lakes and a large sports hall. The vast, but dangerous, sandy area of Morecambe Bay can be crossed with the help of an official guide who is an expert on the area. It is of great interest as a breeding and resting area for migrant flocks of wild birds, notably the eider and sheld ducks (noted by Peter Scott). The ancestral home of George Washington’s (First President of the United States) paternal ancestors once stood on the site of Morecambe’s present weekly outdoor/indoor market. The gates of this house can still be seen in the grounds of Morecambe’s Town Hall.
