There are hidden pastures, reservoirs, canal towpaths and woodlands
of this beautiful Shire-County to explore, with stunning views over
Lancashire and the Cheshire Plain, culminating in a gradual climb to
Pendle Hill with unsurpassed scenery all round.
Starting at St. Helens on Merseyside and finishing in the village of
Thornton-in-Craven on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border, the route takes
you briefly through built up areas, but even these have their own
stories to tell of their industrial heritage. There are access paths to
the route from Wigan, Bolton, Burnley and Downham, and to the south from
Widnes & Warrington
This book contains all the information you need, with detailed route
description, sketches and photographs to make your journey easier and
safer. Come with me to experience the breathtaking views, stunning
scenery, wildlife and woodland of this 70mile-linked route called The
Lancashire Trail.
