  • Morecambe Bay Estuaries and Catchments
    Morecambe Bay estuaries and catchments The group of estuaries that comprise Morecambe Bay form the largest area of intertidal mudflats and sands in the UK. The four rivers discharging into the bay are the Leven (with Crake) and Kent (with Bela) in the North, and Lune and Wyre in the East (Figure 1). Fig 1. The four contributory areas of the estuarine system of Morecambe Bay in Northwest England (below) of the Leven, Kent, Lune and Wyre rivers (left). The neighbouring rivers of the Ribble and South West Lakes region are also shown1 The Leven and Kent basins cover over 1,000 km2 (1,426 km2 when grouped with the neighbouring River Duddon), the Lune 1,223 km2 and Wyre 450 km2, with all draining into Morecambe Bay between the towns of Barrow-in-Furness in the Northwest and Blackpool in the South. The city of Lancaster and towns of Ulverston, Broughton-in-Furness, Ambleside, Windermere, Bowness-on- Windermere, Grange-over-Sands, Sedburgh, Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale, Ingleton, Carnforth, Morecambe, Garstang, Fleetwood and Blackpool lie within the basins. Leven and Kent basins: River Leven is sourced on both Bow Fell (902 m) at the head of the Langdale Valley and Dollywagon Pike (858 m) above Dunmail Raise. These fells comprise of volcanic rocks of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group that characterise the central Cumbrian Mountains. The source on Bow Fell is only 3 km from the wettest place in the UK with the Sprinkling Tarn raingauge recording 6,528 mm in 1954. Both tributary streams flow through Lake Windermere (Fig. 2) that is England’s largest lake with a surface area of 14.7 km2.

  • Lancashire Coastal Way ! ! ! 6 a Map 1 ! !
    LANCASHIRE Coastal Way The Coastal way is a 137 mile footpath following the coastline between Merseyside and Cumbria. The Lancashire coastline, much of which is of international ornithological interest comprises a variety of landscapes from the distinctive limestone scenery of Arnside / Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, through grazed saltmarshes and agricultural land, the seaside resorts of Morecambe and Blackpool and the Fylde coast, as well as the major river estuaries of the Lune, Wyre and Ribble. Walking the Coastal Way will enable you to relive history as well as observe todayÊs coastal activities. See the small creeks home to early inhabitants and the relics of coastal fortifications and early Christianity. Witness the evidence of early industries based on iron, salt and limestone, alongside the modern businesses of British Aerospace, Nuclear Electric, British Gas and ICI. The busy harbours at Fleetwood, Heysham and Glasson Dock contrast sharply with the holiday atmosphere of the seaside resorts. Above all the coastal way provides spectacular views of Morecambe Bay, the Bowland Fells and the Lake District, and the opportunity, particularly in spring and autumn, to observe the large variety of waders and seabirds for which the Lancashire coast and estuaries are internationally important. ENJOY YOUR WALK: But please remember to follow these simple requests: • KEEP TO THE COASTAL WAY PATH. • FASTEN ALL GATES BEHIND YOU. • KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD. • TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME WITH YOU. HORSES AND BIKES ARE ONLY ALLOWED ON BRIDLEWAYS. THESE ARE MARKED BY BLUE ARROWS. BIRD SPOTTING Birds that you might see from the path include: oystercatcher pink-footed goose redshank eider grey plover curlew pintail dunlin golden plover lapwing goldeneye red-breasted merganer turnstone shelduck cormorant knot bar-tailed godwit SILVERDALE SilverdaleÊs charms were first made public by Elizabeth Gaskell, the Victorian novelist who has since had the main hall in the village named after her.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.
