Summary
The Lancashire Coastal Way is a long-distance footpath following the full length of the county coastline, bordering Merseyside to the south and Cumbria to the north. The Lancashire coastline, much of which is of international ornithological interest, comprises a variety of landscapes ranging from the distinctive limestone scenery of the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, through grazed salt marshes and agricultural land, the seaside resorts of Morecambe and Blackpool and the Fylde coast, to the major river estuaries of the Lune, Wyre, and Ribble.
