About Heysham

Heysham Port, located to the west of the small Lancashire village of Heysham, overlooks Morecambe Bay. It is in a prime position to operate as a central hub for direct access to the Irish Republic, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the UK.

Heysham Ferry Port facilities include a café / bar, vending machines, disabled toilets, and wheelchair access at the terminal. Car Parking is available adjacent to the Terminal Building.

The village of Heysham has a long history and is a significant national archaeological site. The church and remnants of a chapel are situated above the settlement in the Conservation Area, which is on the coastal headland south of Morecambe. With St. Patrick's Chapel and rock-cut burials from the eighth or ninth centuries, the ruins on Chapel Hill are among the most nationally significant sites of early Christianity in England. There are breathtaking views of the Lakeland Fells and Morecambe Bay from the headland.

St. Peter's Church, which primarily dates from the 14th century but includes some earlier remnants, is located farther to the east. A cemetery encircles the church, and old trees separate it from the community.
