From the car park we walk through the village of Overton and out to Bazil Point passing Ferry Cottage to the Lune Estuary. We turn back inland along Lades Marsh to the tidal road for Sunderland Point the start of the B Walk..
Both walks now follow the same route to Morecambe. Keeping away from Lades Marsh (which maybe in flood) we cross-farmland protected by a tidal bank to Sunderland Point's tiny hamlet. Walking through the hamlet past the Old Hall to the very northern tip of the Lune Estuary. Turning north we walk along the beach to Sambo's Grave. This is a memorial to a young black slave brought by his master to Lancaster from the West Indies in 1736. He was taken ill and died, buried originally in an unmarked grave but a schoolteacher 1795 raised money to erect this memorial. We continue along the beach passing Potts Corner leaving the shore close to Heysham Power Station. Our route takes by the side of a nature reserve and past the Ferry terminal to Half Moon Bay. Overlooking Heysham Sands we head to the ruins St Patrick's Chapel, built in the 8th or 9th century and featuring rock graves. Time will be allowed to explore this very interesting ancient site. Leaving the chapel we will walk along the promenade from Lower Heysham to Morecambe that has wonderful views across the Kent Channel to the Lake District.
