Sites and Facilities

Cinderbarrow Picnic Site has been created by Lancashire County Council with grant aid from English Partnerships, to promote interest in and enjoyment of the beautiful rural hinterland of Morecambe bay lying only a few miles north of Carnforth. Here, in addition to one of the finest sections of the Lancaster Canal, can be found some of the most historic and picturesque villages in the north-west, many of which may be reached via an intricate network of field-paths and bridleways radiating out from the Site itself.

At Cinder barrow there is ample space to park and simply enjoy a short circular stroll around the site with its fascinating little miniature railway track, which operates on Sundays during the Summer, while the more energetic may prefer, with the aid of one of the specially-prepared companion leaflets, to discover for themselves something of the local history, topography and wildlife lying a little further afield.

Cinderbarrow has a metalled car park and grass picnic area by the A6 between Carnforth and Milnthorpe. There is a height barrier of 2.15m. Please note that there are no toilet facilities at this site. Bus leaflet 145. OS Grid Reference :SD 514 758.
