National Trust - Sandscale Haws National Nature Reserve

Another national trust treasure. Went an hour after high tide so had plenty of time to walk along the beach. Plenty of things to see as you walk along. Dogs loved the freshwater pool near the car park

What a stunningly beautiful place. Fascinating to read the information about natterjack toads plus other wildlife & plant life that the National Trust are doing such great work to protect.

Worth visiting “out of hours” to avoid busy times in the car park~ but definitely worth visiting 🐸

Amazing place to visit and take your dog for a walk down the smash beaches. The tide can come in quite quickly so if our exploring the sands just be aware, but lovely to sit on the sand banks and just relax. Does cost for parking but around £1 per hour so not to bad. Wellies I would recommend unless really warm

A very quiet, picturesque beach with a vast expanse of wet sand beyond the initial stones and pebbles. A safe place for little ones to play when the tide is out as the main body of water is so far out, but there are little streams running through for them to paddle in. My little one enjoyed collecting shells and investigating all the stones.

The carpark was fairly full despite there being very few people in sight, and this appears to be because it's a good place to walk dogs so people quickly vanish into the distance.

Beautiful area of Barrow, so much flora and fauna, great for dog walking, great for families, a truly beautiful place and well worth a visit if you're from out of town

Beautiful at dusk yesterday (30/10/21) people walking dogs & some families about with children playing. What I noticed most is how clean it is, I didn't see one bit of litter!
For anyone who likes pebble hunting like me there were some beautiful pebbles all about some bigger rocks first as you descend and I was in my element! Got a few pretty little ones to take home as a momento (I don't take more than just a few each place I go) and also picked up some great chippings that I put in little bottles to make keepsakes.
A little gem of a beach & nice walks! Well worth a visit.

Beautiful walk along the coast. Stopped to watch some guys windsurfing, then walked back looking at all the different flora. I even spotted a dragonfly among the reeds. A lovely place to introduce nature to children. 😊

Lovely quiet place to have a nice relaxed walk especially if the tide is out. There is only a very small area that is accessible via wheelchair which means it would be a very short visit
