Cockerham Sands I am at the Lane Ends Amenity Area near Pilling, Lancashire, and looking out across Cockerham Sands and the Lune estuary. The power stations at Heysham can be seen to the left of shot. The area is rich with wild flowers in early summer: the flowering shrub in the foreground is sea radish.
