The canal is 1.25 miles long and runs from the town to the coast of Morecambe Bay. It is entirely straight and on a single level. It is an isolated canal and does not connect to the main canal network. At the end you are treated with The Bay Horse Hotel & Restaurant for some nice food and a beer.

If you are feeling energetic then take a walk up Hoad Monument, hear you will get a great view of the town and looking out to the bay.
The monument is open on a Sunday (if the flag is flying) But It isn’t one for the faint-hearted.

This is our local!
They have a fantastic craft beer choice with a small bar but has plenty of extra seating upstairs.
The guys that work there are very knowledgeable!
They have a great selection of different ales, IPA’s, Stout’s and my all time favorite, Sours! you must try a sour if you go!! Fridges are always stocked with beers from across Europe, you can also get a take out if you want to take them back to the house. If you like anything on draught for a take out, just ask as they have a can machine!!
If you hear any one say "Beerwolf" this is the place, unfortunately they have had to change there name.
