About

Walney Island North forms the upper portion of this long, low-lying island in the Irish Sea. Its landscape is dominated by extensive coastal habitats, including saltmarshes, sand dunes, and shingle beaches. The area is known for its significant seabird colonies, with large populations nesting on the island's northern tip.

The shifting channels of the Walney Channel separate the island from the mainland town of Barrow-in-Furness. A single bridge connects the northern part of the island to the southern settlements. The northern end features the Walney Nature Reserves, which encompass important grazing marshes and lagoons shaped by past industrial activity.
