Morecambe is a seaside town in Lancashire.

[edit] Get in

Morecambe is approximately five miles from the county town of Lancaster (and indeed forms a small conurbation). It is well placed for explorations of Lakeland, Bowland, and the western side of the Yorkshire Dales.

It is located close to the M6 motorway, the main west-coast arterial road in Britain.

Rail services from Lancaster are frequent, Lancaster itself is served by the West Coast Main Line. Services also run to Manchester Airport and Leeds.

[edit] Get around

Although access is beset with difficulties from Lancaster, due to an excess of traffic, Morecambe itself is relatively easy to get around. Try parking on the front, and then simply walking along the Prom.

Morecambe gives its name to Morecambe Bay, one of Britain's largest tidal areas. This makes for an excellent haven for wildlife, particularly birds. The view of the Lake District is particularly picturesque (some say this is simply because you are facing away from Morecambe), and the sunsets are often impressive.
