With another weekend of warm weather expected, it’s the perfect excuse to get out and explore another of Lancashire’s scenic locations.
This week’s suggested walk starts at the award-winning Wyre Estuary Country Park, located on the banks of the River Wyre in Thornton Cleveleys. Many of the facilities within the park are accessible to disabled people including the use of the Tramper all terrain electric buggy. The network of paths lead visitors through a variety of estuary and riverside views, where you will find a wide range of habitats and wildlife, including excellent bird watching opportunities. Our suggested route actually takes you away from the park, leaving you the option of exploring it more fully either at the end or start.It also features a long stretch of the tramper trail, designed specifically for the all terrain buggies which can be used off road and on muddy terrain.
That stopping point is the Thornton Lodge pub, situated near the banks of Skippool Creek in the River Wyre Estuary. The country pub is a popular resting point for walkers and ramblers and is both family and dog friendly as well as serving food and drink including local ales. The walk covers a total distance of just over four miles and will take around an hour and a half to complete. While much of the route is specifically designed for trampers, it can still get very wet so it’s important to wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
