"Rufford Old Hall is a National Trust property in Rufford, Lancashire, in north-west England. Built in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth centuries for the Hesketh family, only the great hall survives from the original structure. A brick-built wing in the Jacobean style was added in 1661, at right angles to the great hall, and a third wing was added in the 1820s. The hall is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building, and the cottage, coach house and stables in the courtyard at the rear of the hall are designated Grade II."

Not a difficult BW to ride (gravelbike), but be aware of vehicles using it!

The Farm Tea Room arrived just in the nick of time for this wet and bedraggled hiker. Much more impressive than it looks from this angle and much more than a tea room. The Farm provides tea and cakes of course but it also provides hot meals and has a bar. There is an outside seating area and a childrens play area. Great service from pleasant and welcoming staff.

Be careful when using this path on a road bike due to rough tarmac and gravel. Would be better to use with Gatorskin tyres

located in Rufford, a rural part of Lancashire, the marina is on the Rufford branch of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. The views on the marina are lovely, why not go for a walk round the pathways and see all the boats that are moored here and the ducks and swans and if you're very lucky you may glimpse a sight of the kingfishers that they have nesting on site, if you walk across the field at the top you can see the many hills in the distance including Winter Hill. On site there is a wonderful and very popular cafe called the Boathouse Brasserie , here you can sit and relax and enjoy a drink and sample some of their wonderful cakes and some of their home cooked food they offer, made from fresh local produce.

Nice cut through avoiding the main roads

Nice place for a break

The Rufford branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal turns off here in Burscough. It used to be a busy interchange with a veterinary centre for the canal horses. Today the building and stables is occupied by small arts & crafts business, shops and cafes.
