town and civil parish in South Lakeland, England, UK
About Grange-over-Sands
There is a mile-long seaside promenade walk. The prom was built in 1904 and is especially lovely in spring with its colourful borders full of flowers and spring bulbs. There some great shops and lovely ornamental gardens with a collection rare ducks. There are plenty of cafés and tearooms to enjoy a cream tea or tasty lunch. Until the Furness railway was built across the bay in 1857, the town was reached by crossing the dangerous sands of Morecambe Bay at low tide. Stage coaches towards Scotland crossed the sands rather than struggle over the Lakeland hills, so Grange became part of Lancashire. The railway further tied it to Lancashire because of local iron ore and metal-bashing industry. In 1974 there were major changes to the county boundary and Grange-over-Sands was re-assigned to Cumbr
