Member's Comments on Beacon Brow (Walney)...

Chris Pearson says...
Summit is in a large gorse and bramble thicketclose to the golf course shed and bricked up old coastguard lookout tower.Good views out to the various offshore wind farms including the Walney wind farm with 102 turbines = largest offshore wind far in the world in 2012 when it was constructed in just 5 months. Claimed to be enough to provide electricity needs for up to 320,000 homes over a year.
