On 17 July 2024, Natural England submitted a report to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs setting out proposed changes to the approved route of the King Charles III England Coast Path at Dunnerholme Golf Course, Askam-in-Furness in Cumbria. This is a section of the Silecroft to Silverdale stretch.
