Description
Easy to park near estuary. Refreshments and toilets available. Particularly suited for those who want to birdwatch but are not able to walk long distances though there are also lots of longer hikes available from here too. A visit combines well with a trip to the bird hide at Conder Pool in Thurnham, 5 minutes away (also described on Birdingplaces).

Access
There's a public car park in the centre of Glasson Dock. Click on the P in the map for directions. Opposite the car park are toilets and you can walk down the path to the right of the toilets to reach the estuary viewpoint. Literally a couple of minutes from the car park. There are also buses (88,89) which run from Lancaster/Knott End which stop at Glasson Dock.
