Terrain: A varied and generally flat walk. Expect a mix of paved promenade (along the coast), compacted earth or gravel canal towpath, and potentially some grassy sections. The paths are generally wide and easy underfoot. Can be muddy in parts, especially on the canal towpath after rain or if venturing onto grassy verges. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Accessibility: This walk is generally very accessible due to its largely flat and well-maintained paths. Both the coastal promenade and the canal towpath are suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

Dog Notes:

Dog-Friendliness: Bolton-le-Sands offers a fantastic, flexible, and very dog-friendly walk, combining coastal beauty with the tranquility of a historic canal! Dogs are welcome throughout much of the route. Dogs should be kept on a lead in busier village sections, on the promenade when crowded, and whenever near sensitive wildlife areas or livestock. Well-behaved dogs with excellent recall can enjoy some off-lead freedom on the wider, quieter sections of the canal towpath or on the beach (check local restrictions and crucial safety warnings).
