Morecambe

Morecambe in Lancaster, Lancashire, England is a compact coastal town on the edge of Morecambe Bay, known for its vast tidal sands and open views across to the fells of the Lake District. It developed as a Victorian seaside resort and still shows that heritage in landmarks such as the Art Deco Midland Hotel and the long, popular promenade.

The town is culturally linked to the comedian Eric Morecambe, celebrated with a statue on the seafront, and supports festivals, music and community arts around venues like the Winter Gardens. Wildlife and birdwatching around the bay and at RSPB Leighton Moss sit alongside an economy based on tourism, hospitality and local services, with ongoing regeneration aimed at boosting the seafront and creative industries while addressing social challenges in parts of the town.
