Cumbria Grand Hotel

Grange is a pretty resort with an Edwardian flavour and a mild climate. It is on the shores of Morecambe Bay, and from the 13th Century until the 1850’s, the major route from Lancaster was across the sands. In 1887, the coming of the Furness Railway encouraged the growth of Grange from a small hamlet to the town we see today.

The estuary and the countryside around Grange are fascinating places for nature enthusiasts where a tremendous range of birds can be seen. Grange has some of the finest parks and gardens on the Cumbrian coast – the ornamental gardens has a lake with many water birds.

Loved by artists and tourists alike - as the leaves in the valleys turn from green to gold, the autumnal colours make it a breath-taking place to visit during the months leading up top Christmas. 

Taking a boat trip on a crisp autumnal day will mean the waters acts as a mirror reflecting the brights colours of autumn all year round.
