Arnside and Silverdale

Arnside and Silverdale is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, on the border between Lancashire and Cumbria, adjoining Morecambe Bay. One of the smallest AONBs, it covers 29 square miles between the Kent Estuary, the River Keer and the A6 road. It was designated in 1972.

The area is characterised by low hills of Carboniferous Limestone, including Arnside Knott and Warton Crag , interspersed with grassland. Much of the area is covered by deciduous woodland, in which ash, oak, and hazel predominate. The coastal area contains large extents of salt marsh, although these are under threat from the shifting channel of the Kent Estuary. [1]
