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.

In 2008 English Heritage published its first register of Heritage at Risk – a region-by-region list of all the Grade I and II* listed buildings (and Grade II listed buildings in London), structural scheduled monuments, registered battlefields and protected wreck sites in England known to be ‘at risk’.

  • Proposed Changes to the England Coast Path at Nethertown and Sellafield, Cumbria Natural England’S Variation Report to the Secretary of State
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath Proposed Changes to the England Coast Path at Nethertown and Sellafield, Cumbria Natural England’s Variation Report to the Secretary of State Coastal Access Variation Report VR7 26th June 2019 Part 1: Purpose of this report 1.1 Natural England has a statutory duty under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to improve access to the English coast. The duty is in two parts: one relating to securing a long-distance walking route around the coast; the other to creating an associated “margin” of land for the public to enjoy, either in conjunction with their access along the route line, or otherwise. 1.2 On 28th September 2015 the Secretary of State approved Natural England’s proposals relating to the Whitehaven to Silecroft stretch in Cumbria: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/england-coast-path-whitehaven-to- silecroft. The public rights of access to this stretch have yet to commence. Since approval of the report, it has become clear because of changing circumstances that further changes are necessary to the route of the England Coast Path. This report contains Natural England’s proposals relating to two of those changes, which are at the following locations shown on the overview map below: • Nethertown railway station; and • North of Sellafield nuclear decommissioning site In order for these proposed changes to come into force they must be approved by the Secretary of State. 1.3 It is recommended that Natural England’s approved report (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/england-coast-path-from-whitehaven- to-silecroft-comment-on-proposals) relating to this stretch is read in conjunction with this report.
