Hotels in Carnforth & Silverdale
North of Morecambe the coast turns into something different: limestone, woodland and saltmarsh, with small villages scattered through it. Much of it falls within the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape.
Carnforth station is the one most people have seen without realising. It was the setting for the 1945 film Brief Encounter, and the restored refreshment room and visitor centre play on that connection. Leighton Hall, a few minutes away, is a privately owned house open to visitors in season.
Leighton Moss is the largest reedbed in north-west England and an RSPB reserve — the sort of place where the bird list genuinely is the attraction. Beyond it, Arnside and Silverdale give you limestone pavement, low hills and the Kent estuary, and the Lake District is close enough for a day out.
