This trail follows the course of one of the old railway lines that cross the Ribble and head south. The train line now crosses the river on the viaduct to the west and this path is left for runners and other users. Like all old railway trails it's great to run on: nice surface, flat and car free. This makes a great loop along the river and through Avenham & Miller parks. The parkrun happens on the north side of the river each Saturday and you can use this to warm up away from the crowds or enjoy a longer run.
