A beautiful walk with lovely views. Walney channelseparatesWalney islandfrom theBritish mainland. Walney is 11miles long(18km) and 1mile at its widest(2km). The northern portion of the channel opens into theDuddon estuary and is both narrower and shallower. The southern half of the channel is wider and is regularly dredged to allow shipping access to the port of Barrow. This half opens too Morecambe Bay. The channel is spanned byWalney Bridge (officiallyJubilee Bridge) completed in 1908. Because of the needs of navigation, particularly the activities of at the time Vickers shipyard, it was constructed as abascule bridge.
