Location
George Hastwell School, located on Walney Island, situated in the Irish Sea just off the west coast of England, stretches over 11 miles, offering a delightful variety of beaches to explore and enjoy. It boasts expansive sandy stretches during low tide, connecting to the North Walney Nature Reserve through a series of sandy dunes. These beaches provide an excellent setting for family fun, nature exploration, and the opportunity to witness some of the UK’s most breathtaking sunsets.
GHS is linked to Barrow in Furness by the Jubilee Bridge spanning the Walney Channel, being the largest island among the Furness Islands group. Walney Island has played a pivotal role in the growth of the Furness Peninsula and the island’s natural shelter serves as a crucial factor in the development of the nearby extensive shipbuilding yards.
