Grange-over-Sands

The town retains the atmosphere of a prosperous Victorian and Edwardian resort, with handsome buildings, parks and a long traffic-free promenade. The view is across saltmarsh and tidal sands rather than an open bathing beach, creating a distinctive and wildlife-rich coastal scene.

Grange is ideal for gentle walks, cafés and a relaxed break, with Cartmel, Holker, Arnside and the southern Lake District close by. Its railway station and relatively level waterfront make it one of Cumbria’s easier car-free destinations.
