Morecambe Bay Pavements is a multi-site Special Area of Conservation comprising limestone pavements around Morecambe Bay in North-West England. It was designated in 2005 under the Habitats Directive.[1] The SAC does not include any marine areas; Morecambe Bay itself is a separate SAC, which was designated the same year.
The SAC is designated for its biological rather geological interest, but the areas protected, on the margins of Morecambe Bay, have in common that they feature faulted outcrops of Lower Carboniferous Limestone. The limestone tends to form hills as it is more resistant to erosion than other rocks in the area.
There are separate WP articles describing the sites (which are in the counties of Cumbria and Lancashire):
