From the hill overlooking Half Moon Bay we descend
past the car park (alternative starting point) and cross the golf course
to enter the National Trust owned cliff path on Heysham Head. |
|
|
|
The National Trust took over the stewardship of Heysham Head
and the Barrows in 1996 and negotiated for and have built the cliff top
path which gives access to the Barrows. |
|
|
|
The path is still new and will need a few years to become
naturalized but offers exceptional views over Morecambe Bay. Again this
provides a good vantage point for the bird watcher. |
|
|
|
Proceeding along the path we come to a split in the path,
the lower path will bring you to the lower section of the Barrows, the higher
path to a middle height, both paths enter the Barrows through gaps in the
wall. |
|
|
|
The paths enable us to explore the Barrows
and the woods above and both are popular with the people of Heysham. |
|
|
|
As we move northwards we finally reach the remains of St. Patrick's Chapel
at the edge of the old wall that used to partition Heysham Head from the
public.
