This stroll provides very easy walking with spectacular views over an expansive tidal area. All visitors should be sure to have a current set of tide tables to hand.

Those interested in industrial archaeology will find this area of great interest and neither will it disappoint naturalists whatever the state of the tide.

In winter this is the place to watch dunlin and knott which gather in huge flocks and their flights provide spectacular displays. 1. There is a rather craggy stroll along the line of the coast which over the years has become eroded – the ground is difficult to negotiate and at the high tide the route is impossible.

My route, however, follows a much safer but still attractive inland track. From the car park follow the route to the Silverdale Hotel.

Turn right along a gravel track and pass the nursery and also Wolfhouse Farm, along Lindeth Road by turning right. The lane then narrows to Gibraltar Farm.

2. Close to Gibraltar Farm an obvious track leads to an area known as Jack Scout and then onwards to Cow's Mouth. Follow a cliff top footpath where the danger areas have been sensibly fenced off. This is the place just to soak up the scenery.

3. There are two aspects hereabout which warrant an extended stop. Firstly here is a restored limekiln — very few of these structures remain in any semblance of good order.

Here also is the Giant’s Seat which is just a huge slab of limestone set in an ideal location to enjoy scenery and bird watching.

Follow the easier and more obvious track and fork right to reach a gate leading into a lane. Continue along this narrow and very pretty lane.

4. Approach Jenny Brown's point. Who was Jenny Brown? It is believed that she was a governess or a nanny who saved her charges from an oncoming tide but lost her own life in the process.

5. Leave the coast and head to the left which is signed to Heald Brow. After crossing an easy to negotiate stile and obvious gap in a wall approach the woodwell area, surrounded by crags.

Here is a tiny pool which is fed by a trickle of water from a well from which the area is named.

This is a spring and summertime delight for those who love flowers but the bird life is a joy even in the winter.

Approach a gap in a very solid wall to find a path leading to Sliverdale village. The track winds through buildings on one side and woods on the other.

Pass through another gap in the wall to reach the main road into the village. Turn left down the shore road to return to the car park.

Getting there: Turn off from junction 35 on the M6 and turn off towards Carnforth. Turn right off the A6 to the traffic lights and follow the signs to Sliverdale.

Pass close to Warton and from Sliverdale follow into a cul-de-sac which is the Shore Road. There is a good car park with an honesty box rather than a pay and display area.

Distance: Three miles
