Welcome to Arnside

Arnside is one of the largest villages in Cumbria, situated on the border with Lancashire, and facing the estuary of the River Kent. The Barrow to Lancaster railway crosses the Kent Estuary here on an impressive viaduct. The old pier opposite the Post Office is a reminder of the days when most of the local trade was done by sea.

Whilst attracting many tourists and holiday makers, Arnside is also a popular retirement haven, with a thriving and very active community life.

Arnside is located within one of Britain’s smallest Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the Arnside/Silverdale AONB.
