Sunflowers!

Join us on this ride to see the stunning sunflower fields in Bretherton!
We initially start the ride on the Chorley Loop line before cycling along roads to Long Fold Farm in Bretherton. Here we can stop for an ice cream or drink and walk through the sunflower fields which is a joy not to be missed. You will need to bring something to eat with you as other food will not be sold. There is a £1.00 per person admission fee into the field.You can bring your own secateurs (or hire some for a charge) to cut and buy some sunflowers to take home (£1 per stem or 6 for £5). We will spend approximately an hour at the fields before we cycle back along picturesque country lanes. The majority of the ride is on roads but we will be cycling at a steady pace.
