A wonderful place to walk is Humphrey Head. With excellent views over Morecambe Bay, the limestone promontory has an unusual assemblage of plants and interesting geological exposures. Great place for watching birds on the estuary. The walk to the highest point on the Head and back is 2km/1.2 miles on grass with fairly small gradients.
Depending on the saltmarsh channels, it is possible to make this into a circular walk via Humphrey Head Point and returning via the saltmarsh. This may involve crossing soft sediment and can be impassible if the saltmarsh channels are too deep. Please check tide times before attempting this route.
