 Grange over Sands is set on the shores of Morecambe Bay.
Like the neighbouring Bowness and Windermere, it was home to the wealthy Lancashire businessmen of the 19th century. The long history of this genteel town shows it's development from a 15th century grain stowage area, via the 1745 Jacobite invasion to it's present day status of retirement area and tourist resort.
 Grange has been aptly referred to as the "Torquay of the North" with it's mile long promenade bordered by flowers and shrubs, and the attractive ornamental gardens and lake.
The dangerous and fast flowing tides of Morecambe Bay render it unsuitable for swimming, but the coastal area is the habitat of a large variety of birds.
 It lays close to the delightful village of Cartmel and the Priory and the Newby Bridge boundary of Lake Windermere. In fact, all the Lake District attractions are at your finger-tips. There are few more as ideal locations in which to establish a holiday base.
Grange is a tranquil town which has successfully managed to maintain an air of times gone by, but well able to meet the present day requirements of the discerning visitor.
 The varied accommodation of Bed & Breakfast, Guest Houses, Hotels, Self-catering, Caravan and Camping sites are of the highest order. This together with the first-rate selection of eating places are the ingredients of a worthwhile holiday.
