Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in Grange
over Sands! Grange-Over-Sands in South Cumbria is 7 miles
south of Lake Windermere, overlooking Morecambe Bay to the south.
The town's history dates to at least the early 1500's when Cartmel
Priory used it as a storage area for grain. Its name derives
from "graunge", a French word for "grain storage
area". Originally called "the Granary-over-the-sands"
because of the flour from the granary building, the name was
shortened to its present form. Sea freight was also stored in
the priory buildings. Once an important headquarters for the
walk across the tidal sands from Hest Bank to Lancaster, the
crossing is now a tourist attraction rather than a necessary
travelling shortcut. A mile-long promenade, stretching from Blawith
Point to the Victorian railway station, was built in 1904. Grey
limestone houses and Victorian hotels line the seafront and a
Victorian bandstand is located at Park Road Gardens. |
