Your chance to take part and support your local hospice!
After a two-year break, the Morecambe Bay Walk is back! We’re thrilled to bring this unforgettable experience to you once again—all in support of Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice.
This iconic journey takes you across the UK’s largest stretch of tidal mudflats and sand—one of the few chances to safely complete this walk in 2025 as participation is only allowed as part of an organised group led by an experienced guide team.
The route is approximately 8 miles long and typically takes around 3 to 4 hours to complete. However, depending on the specific route on the day, the distance and time may vary. Most of the walk is across sand, but be prepared to wade through water channels that could reach knee or thigh height, depending on recent rainfall—so expect to get wet!
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to walk for a great cause. Sign up today!

FAQ’s
Where does the walk start and finish?
The start of the walk is on the promenade in Arnside at 14.30pm. After a briefing by guides from the Guide Over Sands Trust, the walk proceeds along the shore, continuing onto the sands and across the channels of the River Kent, finishing at the Promenade between Grange-over-Sands and Kents Bank (near the to-be-developed Lido).
What should I wear?
Please come prepared for all weathers! A waterproof jacket is essential as well as additional warm clothing. We recommend wearing old comfortable trainers or shoes as well as shorts or light trousers. Do not wear wellies. You will have to walk through the river at times, and so you may get wet. We also suggest bringing a change of clothing for after the walk for this reason and plenty of drinking water.
