    The Sankey Canal opened in 1757, following the valley along the Sankey Brook, however was abandoned between 1931 and 1963. The canal has been under restoration since 1985 with the formation of the Sankey Canal Restoration Society.

    The trail then enters the linear Sankey Valley Park, a lovely green corridor, that has links to the Trans-Pennine Trail and follows a stretch of Sankey Canal and Sankey Brook.

    Along the way you will pass through woodlands, farmlands, and parkland with scenic paths and chance to spot some wildlife as you wind to Carr Mill where you can enjoy some refreshments.
