Plover Scar Light, Lune estuary At low tide it is possible to reach the lighthouse which may (or may not!) be cut off by a channel of the river. Further out in Morecambe Bay a ship waits to enter Heysham harbour. A zoom shot from the coastal footpath.

Cockersand Abbey Farm Abandoned and likely to remain so since it seems probable that the nearby coastal defences are to be left to their own devices. The fields that surround the farm may then revert to salt marsh as they probably were when the abbey was built.
