Not much in the way of distance but after a day of rain it brightened up around 4pm and enabled us to have this short walk in a bit of late afternoon sun.

Route Map

Looking across the River Lune to Clougha Pike

and towards Overton

First Terrace at Sunderland

Daffodils in The Lane as we walk towards the West Beach.

walking along the west beach which is the seaward side of the point.

Here we are!!

Always neat & tidy. The Stones that I tied up on our last visit were also OK.

Heading towards the point and a look across

A look back towards Heysham as we start to round the point.

Needless to say the erosion continues

Back on the east shore which is next to the estuary of the River Lune

A look back towards Plover Scar Lighthouse and the Fylde coast

Across the river to Crook Farm with the Bowland hills behind.

Clougha Pike & Wards Stone behind Lancaster University.

Walking past what is shown as the "Old Hall" on the map....no idea why

Second Terrace at Sunderland , home one to the famous "Cotton Tree"

Back across the beach to First Terrace

A brief stop on the way back to Overton to show the dangers of straying from the road.

And finally....The Globe at Overton who do very good bar meals.
