Nature Tours:-
If you love nature and would like a tour of the flora & fauna of Morecambe Bay I can highly recommend Gemma Wren at www.naturesgemtours.co.uk She was a National trust manager for the Morecambe Bay National Trust sites for 11 years and probably the very best person to take you on a tour. Arnside Knott is 40 mins away from Castle View and a personal favourite spot of mine! Incredible views!
