Why visit Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape
March 5th 2024
On the west coast of England just below the Lake District, lies an easily accessible yet partly forgotten area of national beauty. Perfect for exploring, here you can find limestone pavements, ancient woodlands, rich wetlands, and a coastline with spectacular sunsets. The place has a genuineness to it. It is a working landscape where farming has retained many traditional practices, Westmorland style. There are natural pastures rich in wildflowers and rare butterflies. The timeless tides of Morecambe Bay, reveal historic channels and salt marsh, visited by rare wading birds and wildfowl. Train stations at Arnside, Silverdale and Carnforth make a visit easily accessible and Yealand Old Schoool, a Quakers’ hostel, will welcome you by providing great value accommodation. Come and walk the well-maintained footpaths, or cycle the quiet lanes and byways. Be kind to yourself and plan a tranquil adventure.

If your looking for a quiet spot to get away from it all the look no further than Yealand Old School
April 6th 2022
Situated in the quiet, rural village of Yealand Conyers in Lancashire you’ll struggle to find a more relaxing spot to take your mind of things and enjoy the peaceful countryside. The surrounding area is part of the Arnside & Silverdale area of outstanding natural beauty and is full of nature reserves and beautiful sights and wildlife. The beaches of Morcambe bay and the hills of the lake district are not far away either.
The old school building dates back to the 18th century and has played host to visitors and provided accommodation since the 1920’s including evacuees during world war two. It was recently refurbished.
Arriving back at Arnside Hostel all the village lights are on which is serenely picturesque and both comforting and charming in equal measure. The sun has disappeared into the sea for another day.
