The village is situated along the Solway Coast, specifically in Moricambe Bay, which serves as a sanctuary for a diverse range of birdlife. Visitors to the area can enjoy the stunning natural environment characterized by sand dunes, salt marshes, shingle beds, and peat mosses, offering excellent opportunities for birdwatching. The shoreline features various viewpoints where guests can spot numerous bird species, including waders, curlew, golden and grey plover, and lapwings.

These pods are situated in the grounds of the owners' bed and breakfast, offering a peaceful escape throughout the year.
Among the glamping options, the Pickhill Pod stands out with its private wood-fired hot tub, communal parking, and outdoor seating area.

Parking is available for one car, and guests are welcome to bring two small dogs for an additional fee. The shared garden area features a private picnic table, and guests can enjoy the hot tub for an extra charge.
