Summary

Description
English: Salt Marsh at Grange-over-Sands Grange-over-Sands is a small Cumbrian seaside town lying on the north side of Morecambe Bay. Originally a small fishing village, Grange developed during the second half of the 19th Century with the arrival of the Lancaster & Ulverston Railway (later absorbed into the Furness Railway), when it became a popular seaside resort and much of this is evident in the Town's (mostly unspoiled) Victorian architecture. Alas, the "sands" and the pleasure steamers have long since departed. The River Kent used to flow past the well-kept mile-long Promenade, but the River's course migrated south leaving the sands to become a salt marsh that is now grazed by small flocks of sheep, which can just be seen in this photograph. Signs warn of dangerous currents and quicksands. Situated in close proximity to the Lake District National Park and within convenient driving distance of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Grange is a delightful place to visit for those who enjoy a quiet Victorian seaside atmosphere.
