Grange-over-Sands

Grange-over-Sands, situated between the hills and the sea, was transformed in Victorian and Edwardian times into a fashionable seaside resort. Visitors can stroll along the promenade, visit the colourful Ornamental Gardens and patronise the plentiful supply of specialist shops and cafes.

For lovers of ornamental gardens, a walk towards Kents Bank will bring the visitor to Park Road Gardens. These gardens achieved Green Flag status in 2009. They feature magnificent trees, a sensory garden and an Edwardian bandstand erected in 1904. These gardens are welll used especially in summer months.

Grange-over-Sands is also famous for PROMART. On the last Sunday of every month from April to September, there are around 70 art/craft stalls on the promenade and this is free for the public to visit.

 Above the town is Hampsfield Fell, generally called Hampsfell, and from the top there are stunning views, on sunny days, in all directions.
