CancerCare’s Chapel Island Walk 2025

Explore Chapel Island, one of Morecambe Bay’s hidden gems! CancerCare are excited to bring their supporters this iconic walk – Sandgate to Chapel Island, which will feature a trip to Collin’s Wear – an old cart line that was uncovered in 2024 for the first time in many decades.

Join CancerCare for a walk to the beautiful Chapel Island which nestles in the Leven Estuary in the stunning sands of Morecambe Bay.

This unique route sets off from Canal Foot (near Ulverston), from where we will stroll along the sands to enjoy the breath-taking vastness of the Bay. We will then cross the River Leven and walk to Chapel Island, where those wishing to can explore the island and its vast array of wildlife.

The historic Collins Weir, an old cart-line which appeared in 2024 after remaining covered by the sands for over 70 years, will still be visible this year. The walk returns to Canal Foot. The circular route is estimated between two to six miles, taking approx. three hours to complete.

Whilst this is not a difficult walk, participants are advised to have a decent level of fitness. You will be safely guided across the shifting sands by royally appointed guide, Raymond Porter. Join us for an amazing day to remember.

Ticket numbers are limited and this usually sells out quickly – so don’t delay.
