This is the top of Crank Hill at Crank Village - it is not the highest point in Merseyside - that is the top of Billinge Hill which is a short distance away. Crank Hill is a nice little climb past Fairfield Hospital - the climb is relatively short but is a consistent ramp which will definitely give your lungs a bit of a workout.

"Burscough wharf was at the center of trade on the canal, with the Wharf Buildings purpose-built for the horses that pulled barges along the canal.  The canal was crucial to Burscough's economy, with much of its employment dependent on the canal and industries along its banks. Burscough Wharf is now a retail and leisure development that has become a focal point for the local community."
