Welcome to Canal Foot

Canal Foot is a small village located in the southern part of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the coast of Morecambe Bay and is known for its stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The village is named after the canal that runs through it, which was once used to transport goods from the nearby town of Ulverston to the coast. Today, the canal is a popular spot for fishing and boating, and visitors can take a leisurely stroll along its banks to enjoy the peaceful scenery.

One of the main attractions in Canal Foot is the beach, which is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. The beach is made up of fine sand and shingle, and at low tide, visitors can walk out to the water's edge and explore the rock pools. The beach is also a great place to watch the sunset over the bay, and on clear days, visitors can see the distant hills of the Lake District.

Another popular attraction in Canal Foot is the nearby Hoad Monument, which is a 100-foot tall tower that offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The tower was built in the 19th century to commemorate the life of Sir John Barrow, a local explorer and founder of the Royal Geographical Society. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower to enjoy panoramic views of the coast, the Lake District, and the nearby town of Ulverston. The tower is open to the public during the summer months, and guided tours are available.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken. Hyning Rd Lancashire 12.04 miles
