The Comedy Way is a 30.5 mile (49 km) semi-circular walk around
Morecambe Bay starting from the market town of Ulverston in Cumbria
and ending in the Lancashire sea-side town of Morecambe. The area
covered by the walk has the finest coastal scenery in north-west
England and is exceptionally rich in plant, bird and animal life.
Several nature reserves including the internationally famous RSPB
Leighton Moss fall within the ambit of the walk. The Comedy Way
celebrates two of the greatest comic duos of the twentieth century,
Laurel and Hardy and Morecambe and Wise. Stan Laurel was born in
Ulverston and in the central square of the town stands a statue
immortalizing the comic genius of the actor and his slapstick
partner. The much loved comedian, Eric Morecambe, was born in the
town that provided his stage name. Located on the central promenade
in Morecambe with the bay and the Lakeland hills forming a stunning
backdrop stands a larger-than-life statue depicting the comedian in
one of his characteristic poses. The Comedy Way is book-ended by
these two evocative memorials to the world of comedy. The guidebook
provides clear easy to follow route directions supported by 14 maps
dedicated to route navigation as well as a wealth of practical
information and safety advice. Features of historical and
archaeological interest along the route are highlighted and
captured by 55 colour photographs. Accommodation is plentiful along
the route thus making this an ideal walk for those new to medium to
long distance walking. Even experienced walkers looking for a new
trail, one that can be completed in two or three days, will find
the Comedy Way an interesting and altogether delightful walk.
