Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!estuary near Arnside]]
Arnside, is a village in Cumbria, England.

The village faces the estuary of the River Kent on the north eastern corner of Morecambe Bay. It is within the Arnside/Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies within the borders of the historic county of Westmorland, near the border with Lancashire.

The village lies on the railway line to West Cumbria, which passes over the River Kent via the Arnside viaduct. Up to the 19th century, the village had been used as a local port, but the building of the viaduct caused the estuary to silt up.

The oldest building in the parish is Arnside Tower, a Pele tower built in the 14th/15th century as a defence against raids from Scots and the Border Reivers. The town is overlooked by Arnside Knott, a hill that rises out of the estuary.
