Overview

We begin the walk from the centre of Garstang, following the river Wyre and then the Grize Dale tributary to the reservoirs above the town.

A quick nip up Nicky Nook a hill overlooking Grize Dale, before continuing through flower filled fields and meadows.

We head back to Garstang via the course of an old railway line and also cross the M6 via footbridge and see a stream go over the motorway too!
