Hiking
Lying at the confluence of the Rivers Ribble and Douglas, Longton Marsh is the opening section of the Ribble Way long-distance trail. The region is inhabited by a large variety of wildfowl, including gulls, terns and lapwings. Across the marsh, you can see the buildings of Warton Aerodrome, once an American Second World War airbase, now one of the jewels in British Aerospace's crown.
