Sunderland Point

Reviewed By KIKO8785 - Scotland, United Kingdom

I have never seen or known a place like this in the UK. The tide comes in and closes off the road making it an island for a few hours and goes out to give access. A few people live on the point and they are all lovely. I have met a few. When you visit always check the tide times so you are not stuck. There are no cafes on the point.

Lune Aqueduct Canalside

The Lune Aqueduct is one of the 'Seven Wonders of the Waterways', a masterpiece of civil engineering. 202 metres (664 feet) long, it carries Lancaster Canal 16 metres (53 feet) above the River Lune. It was designed by John Rennie and constructed by Alexander Stevens in 1797. The aqueduct consists of five twenty-one-metre (seventy-foot) semi-circular arches.

Oh my goodness - I was in heaven admiring this piece of civil engineering. Well worth the mile or so walk out of Lancaster along the beautiful Lancaster Canal. It is amazingly beautiful and worth a visit for all to admire it's architectural elegance.

The Lancaster Canal runs through the heart of Lancaster. So, shop till you drop then relax in a pub or café by the water’s edge!

The Centre @Halton

It is a community centre with excellent playground, ball park, floodlit state-of-the art skatepark, boules and picnic facilities open all day throughout the year. Also an indoor hall and meeting rooms which can be hired. We have a friendly coffee shop open every afternoon, and from 10am to 5pm in school holidays and weekends. Wide range of items on sale, including home made cakes, sandwiches and ice creams. Just off the Lancaster to Caton cycle track (which is part of the Way of the Roses cycle from Morecambe to Bridlington) and near lovely Lune Valley walks.

The centre cafe has a selection of drinks and snacks (sandwiches, panini's, chips, beans on toast etc). Everything is outstandingly cheap, and the service is great. There's also a lovely little playground next to it.
