This square contains mostly a suburb called North Walney, plus 1km of coast, and between the two part of the Furness Golf Course, which is the subject of the one image for this square.

The intertidal zone consists of sandy path interspersed with area of boulders named 'scars'. Earnse Scar is actually in SD1669, but is probably typical.

Earnse Point has the northerly of the car parks along this coast, and this road access to the shore existed in 1873, but is was then via Cow Tarn Lane, the twisty lane across the north of the square. The edge of West Shore Park is adjacent to Earnse Point, just in the square. This, however, is misleading on the 1:25000 map, where it looks like a public park; maps at both smaller and larger scales show that it is a holiday bungalow site. There is a Rugby football ground at SD172699 and then to the east of it another part of the holiday site. Further to the east there what might be a caravan site at SD178699.

Back to the coast, one other feature is a spring shown on the 1:25000 map just above the high water line at SD172693.

The housing estate has a spine road called West Shore Road, and the houses on the SW side of this are the oldest, existing in 1965, At this time the part of the estate on the NE side of the road was under construction.
