Decided to escape our four walls and see St.Peter's Church, not knowing the area. What a lovely surprise. Always associated Heysham for the nuclear power station. The views from this church were amazing and the village has made every effort with their community garden for children and adults to enjoy . Well done. We Will be back to enjoy the various walks.

A stunning church, welcoming and steeped in history. Has to be worth a visit if ever in Middleton. Also have a wander around the graveyard and Old Kankys.

One of the most historic buildings in Poulton, take time out to visit, sit in the grounds, and watch life go by. Lots of beautiful stained glass inside, and peace

St Michael’s Church is very much worth a visit if you are in the Solway Firth area. The church is built within what would have been the site of one of the first Roman forts at the Western edge of Hadrian’s Wall so there has been living history here for at least the last 2,000 years. The actual church was built probably on the location of the Roman granary using stone from the fort and/or Hadrian’s Wall. However, what makes the church important is the sense of holiness because it is still very much a centre of active worship today. Unfortunately for the people of Burgh by Sands, the area was very attractive for Scottish cattle thieves – Reivers – and so the church was heavily fortified with a crenellated Pele tower. The idea – and a sound one – was that the church could be defended whilst the animals and non-combatants sheltered inside. With the Reiver clans unwilling to lose family members in fights easier targets were sought. The gun loop holes are still easily visible. However, St Michael’s is most famous for being the place where Edward 1 was laid in state after his death on the banks of the Solway Firth on 7 July, 1307. Edward, “The Hammer of the Scots”, was planning one more campaign north when he died of dysentery after a long stay at Lanercost Priory over the winter of 1306/7. There is a monument to him a few miles away overlooking the Solway Firth. There is a magnificent statue of Edward near to the church, in the local park. It is easily visible from the road as you head towards Port Carlisle. Please note that we have put approximate opening times for the St Michael’s church because Trip Advisor insists on specific hours. “During the day” would be better – and remember that on Sunday religious services are held.

Few churches in the Liverpool dioces can match the rich heritage of St Nicholas' Blundellsands. This is a Grade II listed building. a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund has enabled extensive resoration work to be carried out, enabling the church to be open on a regular basis, 10-12 Tuesday mornings and 2-4 Thursday afternoons, for the general public to share and enjoy its heritage.
