Breezing to Brockholes

We set of from the Pavilion and join the Guildwheel cyclepath heading towards London road. We cross this using the cycle crossing provided and join the cycle path that takes us down towards the river. We now enjoy a scenic ride along the guildwheel path, negotiating some cattle grids, a couple of short climbs and take the splendid views of the River Ribble. Look out for little Egrets , herons, swans and the occasional kestrel. Our destination is the floating Brockholes visitors centre where we can make use of the facilities. We then return via our outward route keeping your eyes peeled for deer that can often be seen on the reserve.
