Lovely to hear curlew and see so many lapwings; not far away is a bird hide, a kind of camera obscurer and a grave (SD42289 55870). Be aware of tides, the road does become flooded.

A glorious spot, the named gates show a bit of love for the place too. The power station and windswept trees, caravan sites and huddled villages contrast with old ways, blossoming blackthorn and landmark trees... a beautiful Ash, curlew, plover, egrets with a backdrop of tractor following gulls and of course the blackbirds.

K Whitewashed trig with good views over the Lune Estuary and to Sunderland Point, though no poetry/wording affixed on my visit. Parked in village and made a circuit over the top and around the edge of the marsh. Warning signs on the road to Sunderland Point make it more than clear what the tidal risks are.

Parked up at Potts Corner and followed coast path to Sunderland then beat the advancing tide across the causeway and climbed the highest and steepest ladder stile yet encountered to gain access to the Trig , which is situated in a meadow full of disinterested cows The Trig itself is in good condition with a plastic cap four open sight holes an attached poetry plaque and excellent 360 views , that of Sunderland Point steals the Show. Returned via Trumley Farm to complete a pleasant circuit

Started on foot from Lancaster railway station and intended to take the estuary road that passes the Golden Ball pub, unfortunatley it was high tide and the road was impassable just before Lythe Bridge. So a detour along the A683 was needed and not to be recommended really. Its only a mile but the traffic was phenomenal. Once off the A683 the minor road to Overton was far busier then I expected. Trigs easy enough to find with good views across the estuary/salt marshes and to Clougha although quite overcast today. Fortunately, on my return, by the time the Id visited the trig the road passing the pub was now available as the tide had relented somewhat.
