Overview

A pleasant walk along Green Lane to Lytham Hall, through the grounds and onto Forrest Drive. From here we will go to Witch Wood before we make our way to Fairhaven Lake. This involves taking the route over the railway via the stepped bridge. We will be walking around the lake and then making our way along the promenade to Lowther Park, through the park, into town and back to the car.
