Arnside Tower

Arnside Tower is a late-medieval tower house (or Pele tower) between Arnside and Silverdale immediately to the south of Arnside Knott in Cumbria, England.

Eaves Wood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape in Lancashire, England. It is located 1 km north of Silverdale. This protected area includes King Williams Hill where there is a monument marking the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne, known as the 'Pepperpot'. This woodland is protected because of the plant species found there and because the red squirrel is found in this woodland.

Arnside Knott

Arnside Knott is a hill with a summit elevation of 159 metres (522 ft), near Arnside, Cumbria, England. It is not in the Lake District National Park, lying south of the River Kent which forms the south eastern boundary of the national park. It is within the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or AONB), and is National Trust property. Arnside Knott is the lowest Marilyn (i.e. a hill with at least 150 m of topographic prominence) in England. It was not included in Alan Dawson's The Relative Hills of Britain (1992: ISBN 1-85284-068-4) which was the first listing of Marilyns and showed the lowest one as the Hebridean island of Muldoanich, but was added to the list in 2004–05. A detailed survey of the summit and the col was made in 2010, confirming their heights as 159.1 m (522 ft) +/-0.1 m (3.9 in) and 8.3 m (27 ft) +/-0.4 m (1 ft 4 in) respectively, giving a prominence of 150.8 m (495 ft) +/-0.4 m (1 ft 4 in) and confirming the hill's status as a Marilyn. The col is a point on the railway line east of Silverdale, the further north of two pedestrian railway crossings near Waterslack. Arnside Knott has been described as "one of the best sites in Britain to see butterflies", and rare species found there include the high brown fritillary and the Scotch argus. The National Trust grazes Highland cattle on Arnside Knott. On the north slopes of the hill the now defunct Arnside Golf Club had a golf course from 1906 to the time of World War 2.

Silverdale Hoard

The Silverdale Hoard is a collection of over 200 pieces of silver jewellery and coins discovered near Silverdale, Lancashire, England, in September 2011. The items were deposited together in and under a lead container buried about 16 inches (41 cm) underground which was found in a field by a metal detectorist. It is believed to date to around AD 900, a time of intense conflict between the Anglo-Saxons and the Danish settlers of northern England. The hoard is one of the largest Viking hoards ever discovered in the UK. It has been purchased by Lancashire Museums Service and has been displayed at Lancaster City Museum and the Museum of Lancashire in Preston. It is particularly significant for its inclusion of a coin stamped with the name of a previously unknown Viking ruler.
