Full Details
Location
Morecambe is an extremely popular traditional seaside holiday resort sitting on the eastern shores of Morecambe Bay looking towards the Lakeland Fells.
Preston is located some 28 miles to the south, Lancaster 3 miles to the east and to the north west and north east lie the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks respectively.
Morecambe is benefitting from ongoing development and regeneration initiatives including the proposed Eden Project North for which a planning application has been recently submitted.
Designed to take into account the ecology of the Bay, Eden Project North will further enhance the tourist and resident attraction of Morecambe, once built, as well as further improve student diversity in conjunction with Lancaster University. The proposed Eden Project North, if built, will be situated opposite the subject premises.
The subject premises are in full view of The Eric Morecambe statue.
