    Easy walk with lots of bird watching

    We were in Ulverston for the day and wanted somewhere flat to go for a walk. The canal is just over a mile long and has a tarmac path, so we decided to give it a go. It goes from the main road into town, near the retail park, down to Canal Foot Beach, which is really quite peaceful and pretty.

    Lovely walk

    Lovely paved walk down the Ulverston Canal. The whole walk is 2.61 miles/4.2 km (round trip) but there are plenty of benches along the way. At one end there is Booths supermarket and McDonald’s and at the other end there is the Bay Horse Pub. The walk can be started from either end as parking is available at both. It is a lovely scenic route down the canal and to the bay of Morecambe.
