Arnside Knott

Arnside
Arnside Knott is a limestone hill on the edge of Arnside, a former fishing village on the Lancashire/Cumbria border facing the estuary of the River Kent just before it flows into Morecambe Bay.

This National Trust owned site, rising 159 metres above sea level, offers fantastic views over Morecambe Bay, north up to the southern and central Lakeland fells and south towards the Lancashire coast.

It is home to a wide variety of birds, wildflowers and butterflies and has extensive woodlands, providing an excellent choice of walking routes.

Arnside is also recognised for being the starting point for most of the famous Cross Bay Walks, led by the official Queen’s Guide to the Sands, Cedric Robinson. Each year Cedric leads hundreds of people across the treacherous sands of the bay to Kents Bank near Grange, raising thousands of pounds for charity in the process.
