This is interesting coastal walk, good for bird watching. Sunderland and Overton were both ports serving Lancaster. Sunderland is interesting for several reasons and is tidal, cut off twice a day. Although this is a flat walk there is a small easy to climb hill. We will be walking along the beach which will, muddy, wet and quite stoney in parts ..walking poles useful. The Causeway itself can be slippy on the muddy patches. There are also a number of regular styles and ladder styles to climb .
£2:00 donation for non Ramblers.
