The Geology, Industrial Archaeology, Flora and Fauna of Cocklawburn

Cocklawburn is now somewhere where people come to park their car and have a walk on the beach. However, back in the 19th century, there were several thriving communities there - Salt Pan How; Philadelphia and Sandbanks - linked to various industries which have now disappeared. These industries including lime making and making pottery all existed because of the area's geology. The last resident only left in the 1950s.

This fascinating walk will help you discover more about different facets of this hidden gem which offers something for everyone
