Coronation Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

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!

Parbold Hill Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Parbold Hill offers views for anyone walker who wants to just soak in the nice breeze at the summit. You can see places such as Ashurst Beacon (named after Sir William Ashurst who built the beacon on top of the hill back in 1798 as a watch tower), Winter Hill, Wigan and even a bit of North Wales over yonder. It is one of my recommended viewpoints to visit in Lancashire.

Fairy Glen Waterfalls

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fairy Glen is a small area of recreation land that follows the Spodley Brook upstream through ancient broadleaf woodland. There are several waterfalls where the brook has cut into the bedrock over time.
It's a popular family and dog walking area which becomes busy at weekends in good weather.
