GrangeoverSands

Grange-over-Sands is a civil parish and market town located on the northern shore of Morecambe Bay in Cumbria, England. It is situated in the northwest of England, close to the Lake District National Park. The town's origins are relatively recent, developing in the 19th century as a seaside resort. Its development was largely driven by the Furness Railway, which opened a branch line to the town in 1857, facilitating access for visitors.

The town is known for its promenade, which offers views across Morecambe Bay. Due to the tidal nature of the bay, the sea recedes for several miles, revealing expansive sands. Grange-over-Sands is a popular destination for walkers and birdwatchers, particularly during the migrating seasons. The town has a mild climate, often attributed to its coastal location and shelter from the harsher inland weather.

Architecturally, Grange-over-Sands features a mix of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, reflecting its period of growth. It retains a village feel despite its popularity. The town is also home to several parks and gardens, contributing to its pleasant atmosphere. While it does not have a sandy beach in the traditional sense, its promenade and bay views are its primary attractions. Grange-over-Sands is a quiet resort town, appealing to those seeking a relaxed coastal experience.
