Breezing to Owd Barn

WE leave Avenham park cross the Ribble and head along some cycle paths to Leigh brow. Here join the road and travel through Lostock hall, Whitestakes Midge hall and skirt the edge of Eccleston. As we enter Mawdesley we climb up towards the Delph diving Centre then make our way around the edge of Mawdesley, passing Cedar farm and heading on quiet lanes to the Owd Barn. After our break we head towards Rufford and turn right to go through Mawdesley and on towards Croston. On reaching Croston we head back towards Ulnes Walton where we pick up our outward path and retrace our route back to Avenham park

This is a steady ride aimed at women who are confident on a bike and wish to extend the length of their rides.

The route is mainly on quiet roads in South Ribble. There are some short climbs to test your legs

There is be a planned coffee stop at The Owd Barn in Bishpam Green. We will also stop at the Delph diving centre to catch our breath and enjoy the scenery.
