Morecambe Bay Partnership, in partnership with Barrow-based artists Art Gene, developed this stunning series of maps, covering Morecambe Bay, to help you explore from Walney Island near Barrow-in-Furness in South Cumbria, all around the estuaries to Cockerham, south of Lancaster in north Lancashire.  They offer stirring vistas, quiet promenades, cycle routes, glimpses into pre-history, and facts and facets from all the periods since that have shaped this landscape and our communities right up to today.
