Local Attractions

Whilst in Silverdale there are a few musts sees:

The Lots

Just a short walk from Village Centre The Lots offers magnificant views over Morecambe Bay and in early summer has a profusion of orchids.

Jack Scout & Jennie Brown Point

Jack Scout is about 20 minutes walk south from Silverdale Village Centre. To quote the National Trust, “It’s the contrasts that make Jack Scout such a special place to visit. Explore secluded paths between the bushes and find the hidden ways down to pebble beaches, where children (and adults) can beachcomb and rock-scramble. Or stand on the cliff and soak up the views of Morecambe Bay, the Lakeland fells and the surrounding countryside”.

The Pepperpot

A short walk through Eaves Wood from the free Eaves Wood Car Park brings you to The Pepperpot monument, which marks the golden jubilee of Queen Victoria. From here there are good views over Silverdale.
