Sunderland

I'm always interested in roads that aren't always roads.

Looking at maps I came across the village of Sunderland. Situated on the edge of Morcambe Bay where the river Lune meets the sea. The road to the village is 1.25 miles across salt flats. You have to be careful of the tides as the road is flooded at high tide.

Luckily the tide was out so I was able to drive and have a quick look around.

Grain Tower

Even though we have lived in this area for over 30 years, there are still times we find somewhere  close by that we have never visited. This weekend we were at Grain and had no idea there was a long promenade running for a mile or so around the village.

The view is not great as it is mostly Sheereness across the river, but  I did find a nice shot of the Grain Tower fort, an old fort in the river.
