Walking at Sandside

Each day it is a pleasure to wander down to the Kent Estuary to see the new view. Every day is different down at Sandside. The view to Arnside and the viaduct is where the trains link Barrow to Manchester. The view in the photo shows the entrance to Storth from Dixies. In the far distance is Grange-over-Sands.
