Carnforth Take a stroll around one of the four canal walks around Carnforth, where you can reach as far as the Morecambe Bay coast and take in the magnificent views. You can also have your own 'Brief Encounter' at the famous Carnforth Station where scenes from the world-renowned film was shot. Barton Grange Marina Enjoy a bit of retail therapy and a bite to eat at the award-winning Barton Grange Garden Centre. You can also pay a visit to the Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre, which boasts a curling rink, ten pin bowling, cinema, crazy golf course and places to eat and drink. Canal Boat Cruises, Riley Green Take a ride on Romance, the wide beam luxury canal boat with panoramic views. Relax and unwind as you cruise down the canal, take in the beautiful countryside and admire the birds and other animals that make their homes along the canal side. Look out for yellow wagtail, curlew, bullfinch, wren and dipper! Burscough The area around Burscough is some of the flattest in Lancashire, making it easier to tackle a longer route. Try the 14-mile Wetlands & Waterways loop along the Rufford branch (passing Rufford Old Hall), the Leeds-Liverpool canal and the wetlands around WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre. Start and finish at Burscough Wharf, perfect for grabbing a well-earned lunch.
Burnley's Straight Mile Rather than taking a long detour following the contours of the land, a large embankment was built to carry the Leeds and Liverpool Canal through the centre of Burnley. At almost a mile long and up to sixty feet high it is considered one of the wonders of the British Waterways and provides fantastic views across the valley. Foulridge Wharf/Tunnel Choose from four short canal walks around this section of the canal including a two and a half mile circular Pendle canal walk from the mile long tunnel at Foulridge to the pretty Barrowford locks and then through the surrounding countryside. Look out for bats, fox, rabbits and deer, Red Admiral and Meadow Brown butterflies.
