Site Overview: Walney Island is composed of glacial deposits overlaying a rock platform; cliffs along the open coast are cut into these glacial sand and gravels, which provide little resistance to erosion. The two shorelines of Walney Island experience very different exposure conditions; the west coast is exposed to the Irish Sea whilst, in contrast, the east coast is sheltered from wave action. At either end of the Island, large sand and shingle spits extend towards the Duddon Estuary to the north and Morecambe Bay to the south.

It covers the frontage from Rampside, at the outer mouth of Morecambe Bay, to Lowsy Point, which is the start of Sandscale Hawes dune system at the mouth of the Duddon Estuary. Roa Island and causeway is included within a separate policy area: 11c13. Site Overview: Lying behind Walney Island, this frontage is relatively sheltered compared to the open coast, with only locally generated wave action affecting the frontages, although tidal flows are strong. At the northern end of the unit, the entrance of Scarth Channel into Walney Channel is constricted by the presence of spits: North End Hawes, which forms the northern extent of Walney Island, and Sandscale Hawes at the mouth of the Duddon Estuary.
