Foulridge Wharf and Café

Highlight • Cafe

Just before you get back onto the canal, there is a free water pump next to the cafe and toilets, ideal for refilling water bottles. It's very old fashioned and has to be opened to get the tap out!

Pretty slow in sections with walkers, dogs, families out and about. Wasn't in a rush, lots of jolly people up for a chat. Turned around at the 'Pendle Panthers BMX Pump Track', lots of young kids riding around so didn't ride it, didn't want to disturb them.
