Other walks in the area

Bankhouses from Glasson via the Lancashire Coastal Way

Departure from Thurnham (Lancashire)

A Lancashire Walk that explores the Lune Estuary and coast to the west of Lancaster. This Lancashire walk starts from Glasson Dock which at one time had high hopes as being a port serving Lancaster. The route follows a section of the Lancashire Coastal Way with the opportunity to visit the ruins of Cockersand Abbey before continuing along the coast. The final section uses rural inland footpaths to return to the start.

Hest Bank to Carnforth back by Lancaster canal

Departure from Slyne-with-Hest (Lancashire)

Dog-friendly circular walk starting from Hest Bank following the coast to Carnforth village and back by the Lancaster Canal. Lovely walk with views on the Irish sea and Lancaster Canal.

Abbeystead - Tarnbrook - Big hill

Departure from Over Wyresdale (Lancashire)

A walk of two halves, first half mainly uphill, second half mainly down-hill. Surface all gravel path or tarmac road so easy to follow and walk on.

Hazelhurst Fell, Fair Snape Fell and Parlick

Departure from Claughton (Lancashire)

Ths Forest of Bowland offers some of the finest walking in Lancashire. However some of the moorland sections can be quite boggy after rain. A good sense of direction is required certainly during the first section of this walk. Refreshments are not available during this walk so make sure you take food and water.
