A warm welcome from Arnside Parish Council

Welcome to the Arnside Parish Council website. Use the menu at the top of the page or if you can’t find what you’re looking for please get in touch.

Arnside on the edge of Cumbria is a perfect village, you will find shops, galleries, great accommodation, and pubs and cafes with spectacular views, and sunsets across to the Lake District mountains.

Arnside lies on the estuary of the River Kent at the top of Morecambe Bay and was a small port until the Furness Railway built the Arnside viaduct in the mid-19th century. 

The short pier is a reminder of Arnside's past, as is Arnside Tower which dates back to the 14th century. Arnside Knott , 159 metres/525 ft. high lying to the south of the station offers great views across the bay and as far as the Lakeland Mountains and the Pennines.

Arnside is in the Arnside/Silverdale AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and is popular with walkers and visitors to nearby Leighton Moss. Arnside is also popular with visitors who simply want to get away from it all and enjoy a short break.
