Overview

Starting from the end of Liverpool Old Road we follow lanes and paths through Marsh House Farm to the edge of Much Hoole. After crossing the fields through the area of Carrs we pass through Bretherton to join the lanes and tracks to pass the restored Bank Hall. Finally we follow the main road the short distance back to Carr House Bridge and the end of Liverpool Old Road.
