From Preston railway station the route goes through the pedestrianised shopping centre, past a Shopmobility centre, then heads up past cafes and shops, then the university campus (UCLAN). It passes through housing areas to reach the A6 next to Moor Park. The historic Observatory can be seen in Moor Park, and the A6 is a wide straight road with interesting large old houses either side. This route is very straightforward and I was particularly impressed with the fact that all of the kerbs are dropped so that wheeled access should not be difficult.

Doesn't really add anything to what any navigation App would suggest as it follows major/busy roads through North Preston. All roads suggested have pavements and pedestrian crossings are available where necessary.

One of many possible urban routes between Fulwood and Preston City Centre; direct but not very interesting.
