Overview

Starting from Worthington Lakes we cross fields to the mail railway line then roughly follow this across the fields to the Hic Bibi Nature Reserve. We then turn east to cross the fields to Wigan Road continuing across the old sand pits to the edge of Adlington. Turning south we pass Crawshaw Hall to reach Arley Wood and Worthington Lakes.
