Description

Location

West Street is situated off Marine Road close to The Battery within short walking distance of the seafront.

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 Morecambe for which a planning application has been submitted and some funding agreed with Central Government.

Designed to take into account the ecology of the Bay, Eden Project Morecambe 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 Morecambe will not be far from the subject premises.
