Everything,
in minutes
Whether you're heading up to the Lakes for the day or to a site gate at seven, here's how long it takes from each door.
More than
you'd think
A faded resort halfway through a comeback, with a national park either side of it and the Eden Project on the way.
The Stone Jetty
The old harbour arm, now a walkway out into the bay with a little lighthouse at the end. The best spot in town at low sun.
Eric Morecambe
Bronze, mid-dance, one leg up. The most photographed statue in Lancashire and a fair summary of the town's sense of humour.
Eden Project Morecambe
The shell-shaped pavilions rising on the seafront. It's already changing the town, and we're a few minutes' walk from the site.
Heysham village
Half Moon Bay, a Norman church, and stone graves cut into the headland above the sea 1,000 years ago. Genuinely strange and worth the trip.
RSPB Leighton Moss
The biggest reedbed in the north west. Bitterns, marsh harriers, and a starling murmuration on winter evenings.
The Lake District
Windermere's south end is closer from here than it is from most of Cumbria. The Dales are the same distance the other way.
Lancaster
A castle that was a working prison until 2011, a Georgian quarter, and the Ashton Memorial looking down over the whole bay.
The bay walks
Guided crossings of the sands with a local guide — never on your own, the tides here come in faster than you can run.
The bay does this most nights
Morecambe faces west across open water to the Lakeland fells — which is why the sunsets here have been drawing painters, photographers and day trippers for 200 years. Turner came for it. Our west-facing rooms look straight at it.
