Kents Bank: A Tranquil Gem on the Edge of Morecambe Bay
Kents Bank lies to the west of Grange-over-Sands and until the middle of the 19th century comprised a few buildings on the shore where the cross-bay route met the shore.
Morecambe Bay is a special place and one of the last wildernesses in the country to remain unchanged.
A vast plain of sand stretches over a hundred square miles, revealing even more twice a day with the ebbing tide.
Situated beside the smooth sands of Morecambe Bay, Kents Bank village offers a captivating blend of breathtaking scenery, charming history, and idyllic seaside tranquillity.
It’s a place where the worries of the world melt away as you inhale the bay air and gaze at the panoramic vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Kents Bank: A Postcard-Perfect Panorama
One of the first things that will captivate you in Kents Bank is the unparalleled view.
From the vantage point of the village, Morecambe Bay unfolds like a glistening tapestry.
The iconic Arnside railway viaduct, a graceful Victorian engineering marvel, adds a touch of industrial charm to the scene.
This panorama alone is worth the journey and has earned Kents Bank the title of boasting “one of the most beautiful views in the country.”
Walk the Sands with the King’s Guide
But Kents Bank’s beauty isn’t just for passive admiration.
Over the centuries, visitors to the area came at the risk of being drowned, for the only direct approach to Kents Bank was the perilous “over sands” crossing from Hest Bank.
Today, this charming village serves as the gateway to a unique and exhilarating adventure: guided walks across the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay.
Throughout the summer months, join the experienced King’s Guide to the Sands for an unforgettable trek across the tidal flats.
Learn about the fascinating history and ecology of the bay, feel the soft sand squelch beneath your feet, and breathe in the invigorating sea air.
These walks are a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you with memories to cherish.
