    About The Dalton Arms

    The Dalton Arms is an 18th-century quayside pub in Glasson Dock, right where the Lancaster Canal meets the sea. The medium-sized garden faces south-south-west (210°), catching the afternoon sun beautifully from around 1pm through the early evening. The sheltered position beside the marina buildings keeps the wind manageable, and the view over the boats and dock basin gives it a character you won't find in a city centre pub.
