At the mouth of the River Lune, lies Glasson Dock, a small port founded in 1787. Today, a small amount of commercial traffic still uses the dock, but for tourists it is a fascinating hub of boats, locks, wild marshland and pathways from which to explore. The village is also host to a maritime festival every spring, and is also a popular stopping point for motorcyclists, who enjoy the twisty lanes in the approach and a bacon butty at the Lock Keepers Rest, a small café situated in an old caravan.
