NCN The Bay Cycle Way Cycle Route Map (Route 700 around Morecambe Bay)

We are improving the National Cycle Network to make it more accessible for everyone. As part of our Paths for Everyone vision, some sections of the Network have been removed or reclassified. There may be sections within these maps that are no longer part of the Network. These sections are likely to be on busier roads and will suit more experienced cyclists.

This is the official map for the Bay Cycle Way route, an 81 mile (130km) coastal cycle route around Morecambe Bay in the north west of England, and winner of the Visitor Experience Award - Lancashire Tourism Awards 2015. This relatively flat route hugs the spectacular coastline of Morecambe Bay along quiet roads, greenways, canal towpaths and promenades, offering breath taking scenery from Walney Island near Barrow right round to Glasson Dock south of Lancaster. The route looks out over the Irish Sea and is ideal for spotting terns, curlew, knot, oystercatcher and even grey seals.

This full colour map based on Ordnance Survey data shows clearly mapped cycle routes on traffic-free paths, quiet lanes and roads, with easy to read contours, route profile, and town inset maps, local Tourist Information Centres, bike shops and cycle hire details.

National Cycle Network routes covered:

• National Route 700 between Walney Island near Barrow-in-Furness and Glasson Dock.
• National Route 70 between Walney Island near Barrow-in-Furness and Sedgwick.
• National Route 6 between Sedgwick and Galgate.
• National Route 69 between Morecambe and Gressingham.
