 | | The town developed from a small fishing village in the Victorian era with the arrival of the railway as it became a popular seaside resort, lying on Morecambe Bay, across the sands from Morecambe itself. |
 | | The River Kent used to flow past the town's mile-long Promenade, but more recently the river has switched its course to the Arnside side of the estuary, allowing nature to develop the "sands" (mudflats, in truth, with dangerous quicksands at uncertain points) into a spartina-grass meadow now frequently grazed over by small flocks of sheep. |
 | | Adjacent to Grange are Lindale, to the north-east, Cartmel to the northwest, with its Priory to which the village was once the 'grange' or farm, and Allithwaite to the west. |
