St Michael's and All Angels Church, Beetham
The whole area is rich in wildlife and important for butterflies(High Brown Fritillary and Mountain Ringlet). The RSPB reserve at Leighton Moss is a few miles away where the rare Bittern frequents the reedbeds along with a great variety of other birds. Morecambe Bay and the Kent Estuary are designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB) and a visit to this unspoilt region will not disappoint.
