Silverdale is a coastal village and civil parish near Lancaster in Lancashire, England, sitting on the northern edge of Morecambe Bay. It lies within the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is celebrated for its limestone pavements, coastal saltmarshes and wide estuary views; the surrounding crags and disused quarries such as Trowbarrow and the nearby Gait Barrows support a rich array of wildflowers and butterflies.
The village is a gateway for birdwatchers visiting Leighton Moss RSPB reserve and attracts walkers and nature lovers, so tourism and small-scale farming sit alongside local crafts and commuters to Lancaster in the economy. Historic lime burning and quarrying have left their mark on the built environment, and a compact community of shops, cafés, galleries and volunteer groups keeps the social life lively throughout the year.
