Hiking

Close to Preston's centre and on the banks of the River Ribble, Avenham and Miller Parks are lovely greenspaces, a breath of fresh air in the city. Their myriad paths, exotic trees and landscaped gardens are a treat to explore.

Avenham Park hosts the Japanese Rock Garden, as well as a popular cafe for an ice cream in summer or a warming brew in winter. Miller Park features a listed water fountain, spiralling gardens and a basalt rock from Ireland's Giant's Causeway.

Running

Avenham & the neighbouring Miller Park lie along the river Ribble on the southern edge of Preston. It was created in the 1860's and has a famous Japanese Rock Garden with unusual ornamental plants & beautiful water features.
The riverside path, parkland trails and larger park on the other side of the river make a great place to run.
The Preston parkrun is held here every Saturday at 9:00. The junior parkrun takes place every Sunday at 9:00.
