Lathom 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

if you approach from Ashurst's Beacon, avoid the drop in the tree roots by walking slightly to the left and there is a much safer path. having crossed the bridge and walked to the end of the path there is now a homemade rope which is helpful when access is needed to Longheys lane. it is a personal choice!

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.

It's difficult riding your road bike on the canal path. Don't so bad in summer but full of mud in winter

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.

Moss Lock on the Rufford branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. There is a footbridge here so you can access the tow path on both sides of the canal and create nice circular walks.

Even if you arrive after close (1630, 4:30pm) - the bench on the inlet (in the foreground of the first picture) makes for an excellent rest stop to refuel on your own snacks. Accessible after a short walk over the road bridge and via a gravel path (marked 'Emergency access' or words to that effect) on your left hand side in the car park. Follow the gravel path onto the grass and around a right-hand bend.

Nice place to refuel

Nice pubs
