By Train

The Furness line services operating between Barrow and Lancaster pass through the National Landscape, offering spectacular views across Morecambe Bay and the Kent Estuary. There are stations at both Arnside and Silverdale and also at Carnforth, just to the south of the National Landscape boundary. You can pick up West Coast mainline trains at Lancaster and there are also frequent trains providing a direct service to and from Manchester and Manchester Airport.

For further information on what to see and do along the Furness Line, visit the Furness Line Community Rail Partnership website.
