Heysham

Stone graves in the ruins of the ancient St. Patrick's Chapel, close to St Peter's Church and overlooking Morecambe Bay. They are thought to date from the 11th century.
St. Patrick's Chapel dates back to the 8th or 9th Century.

Looking towards Morecambe, the ruins of the chapel can be seen in the middle background. It was certainly an impressive site to have built a chapel. 
Cockle Cottage in Heysham village with all sorts of things hanging on the wall.
Higher than usual tide at Heysham village. Look at the angle of the railings on the left which can usually be clearly seen, along with the slipway. 

Heysham Head. Looking across the Irish Sea. 
The Barrows are the only sea-cliffs in Lancashire (see photo of Heysham Head above) and contain, in a relatively small area, woodland, open grass land, sandy beaches, and deep rock pools.
