Cark Airfield Home to the NW civilian parachute school. On a still day you can hear the cries of 'Geronimo' as the parachutists exit the plane. (Apparently the exhalation of breath when shouting at the top of your voice quells the fear of what lies ahead). It's all in the head anyway!

Village Square Flookburgh village square. The village is well known for its potted Morecambe Bay shrimps and cockles. They can usually be bought from the door of the very people who catch them. It also has a thriving brass band which practices in the local pub by the market square.

Low Marsh The sands here are quite firm and walking out at low water into no-man's land affords a wonderful vista of Lakeland to the West through to the North-east. Whilst over to the East and South-east the forest of Bowland hills are visible on the horizon.
