Grange-over-Sands
Grange-over-Sands lies on the southern tip of the Cartmel Peninsula, overlooking Morecambe Bay. The town developed as a resort with the opening of the Furness Railway in 1857. Wealthy industrialists from the industrial towns of the North West were drawn to the town by its mild climate. They built grand houses here, many of which are now hotels. A mile-long traffic free promenade is backed by colourful ornamental gardens.
Until the opening of the railway, the major route from Lancaster to Grange was across the treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay. In 1536 the Duchy of Lancaster appointed the first Queen’s Guide to the Sands to escort travellers across the bay. Pre-arranged walks with the present guide are offered in the summer and autumn. For more information visit the Grange Tourist Information Centre on Main Street.
