Beacon Country Park is our flagship countryside site, consisting of over 300 acres of rollingBeacon Country Park countryside spread across the slopes of Ashurst Beacon between Upholland, Dalton and Skelmersdale.

The site boasts flowing wildflower meadows, grassland, natural ponds and areas of semi-natural woodland. It commands majestic panoramic views across most of Lancashire with viewpoints overlooking the Lancashire Plain to the west and the West Pennine Moors to the east.

An extensive path network means that everyone can explore the park and there is plenty of space to walk, run, ride horses or bicycles, fly kites, or just get away from it all and relax.

Try the climb up from Roby Mill - lovely, quiet little climb. If you fancy a bit of a challenge come up Long Heys Lane from Lees Lane - a little bit of unmade road in the middle and then a long climb on tarmac road.
