Hiking
This is the last stretch of the River Ribble before it widens into the Ribble Estuary and joins the Irish Sea. The estuary is the most important wetland site in Britain on account of the hundreds of thousands of over-wintering birds that flock here. This part of the river was dredged when Preston was a thriving port, though this is no longer done today.
