Countryside walk with nature reserve just a stone's throw from the city with a homely pub at the end
This week's suggested route takes us to another of the county's villages with a chance to explore part of South Ribble. As we examined in June, Longton offers a handy mix of rural lifestyle while still offering handy transport links to Preston and beyond. That should hopefully make it an easy one for people to access while still giving plenty of quiet and interesting areas to enjoy.
Part of that comes via Longton Brickcroft Nature Reserve - a centre which features three large ponds formed by excavation of clay for brick making, with a number of smaller dipping ponds around the site. It is described as an "oasis" in the surrounding busier area and attracts a range of wildlife can be observed from the pathways.A haven for families, dog-walkers, locals and visitors, it is well maintained and offers a peaceful place for a stroll.
The walk wouldn't feel complete without a stop to enjoy some refreshments so we've started and ended the route at the Golden Ball pub on Liverpool Road. Offering "friendly service and homely charm" the pub is located in the heart of the village and bosses it is the "perfect retreat to sit back, relax and indulge in our delicious food with the perfect drink in hand".
In terms of food, they promise traditional pub classics which are "expertly crafted" alongside highly rates world inspired dishes. There's also a good range of bar snacks alongside an extensive selection of drinks. Out suggested route covers a distance of around five miles, plus however long you choose to explore the nature reserve for. As the weather gets colder, it's even more important to wear appropriate clothing and footwear to keep safe.
