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.

    RCHS NW GROUP 2015 RAIL TOUR Thursday 17th March 2016 A Circular Tour around Cumbria Lancaster, Barrow, Whitehaven, Carlisle, Shap Summit, Lancaster RCHS NW GROUP 2015 RAIL TOUR Thursday 17th March 2016 A Circular Tour around Cumbria Lancaster, Barrow, Whitehaven, Carlisle, Shap Summit, Lancaster Welcome On behalf of the NW Group committee, welcome to our 2016 Rail Tour. As with last year’s tour we have planned a circular journey but with options for timings to suit individual preferences for the amount of time spent at Whitehaven and Carlisle. Whilst most people will be coming from Manchester, the notes are based around the circular route: Lancaster-Barrow-Whitehaven-Carlisle-WCML-Lancaster. Before describing today’s route, the Notes start with a brief introduction to the alternative proposals for the rail line from Preston and Carlisle that eventually resulted in the West Coast Main Line we are familiar with today. Timings allow for a lunch break in Whitehaven. Alternatively, one can stay on the train taken from Barrow to its destination in Carlisle. This gives flexibility to adapt the tour to personal preferences. Principal timetable options are shown below.
