Nestled on the Lancashire coast between Morecambe and Carnforth is the sleepy village of Hest Bank. Set slightly away from the shoreline, it’s a place where pastoral canal walks meet salty sea air.
In the heart of the village old and new buildings sit harmoniously side by side, with the tranquil Lancaster Canal flowing southwards between them. The western edge of the village meets the sand flats of Morecambe Bay, with panoramic views across the water.
In the distance you can see as far as the Furness Peninsula and the Lake District fells, while it's also an excellent spot for watching the sunset when the sky is transformed with orange and red hues. At just over an hour’s drive from Greater Manchester, the village is the perfect place for a day trip this spring, LancsLive reports.
