Author Sam Cooper does not seek to avoid the Sellafield nuclear power station that abuts the links at Seascale. In fact, he embraces it – or at least he did until the moment he found himself standing over a slippery four-footer with an armed guard in the corner of his eye. Host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, prefers to cast his eye oceanwards at what is a spectacularly attractive course. He believes that Seascale is the real deal, especially on the lowest ground nearest to the sea where the terrain is positively rumbustious.

This 18-volume series Links from the Road covers every links course in Great Britain. Volume 2: Fylde Coast, Lake District and Cumbria is available to purchase now from www.linksfromtheroad.com with subscription offers also available.
