The small, sleepy village of Arnside is in an idyllic setting on the river Kent estuary, in an area which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village and beach offer exceptional views over Morecambe Bay, with the hills and mountains of the Lake District in the background, and a picturesque viaduct crossing over the water.

Just arrived in the Lake District - great sunset & loving this bridge. Took a trip over the bridge into Grange on Sands too. Great area got to visit again soon..
We spent three weeks recently in the north-west, staying just over the Cumbria border. The nearby village of Arnside is on the southern side of the estuary of the River Kent. This provides the south-east border of the Lake District National Park. The village is on the north-eastern corner of Morecambe Bay, within the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Until I accidentally found this delightful place a few years ago I had never heard of it, and it is well off the beaten track.

Arnside, Cumbria, sits at the northeastern corner of Morecambe Bay. Here, the sands are exposed temporarily near low tide, with the shallow channel of the River Kent estuary the only water.
A man and his son are on a paddleboard, letting the current do the work. Liminal - calm and peaceful before the tide turns.
