What people love most though about living in LA4 is that you never any further than 1.5miles from the coast.  Morecambe Bay is renowned worldwide for its beautiful sunsets.  The sandy beaches are clean and have blue flag status.  The promenade is flat and stretches for approximately 5 miles which makes it popular with families, cyclists, walkers and wheelchair users.

Throughout the month we will visit Happy Mount Park,  we will look at the schools in areas and also some of the enjoyable walks including the Morecambe Heritage Trail which takes in many of the areas Art Deco buildings.
