Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

21 Jun 2023Tested this one in reverse.
From Stanley Gate pub, along a paved road with goid crossings, but we're soon onto a footpath across fields, before joining another road just past an old windmill. This road takes us to the village of Bickerstaffe, where we pass the church and school. We're then onto a farm track, a mixture of tarmac, earth and loose stone, passing a farm before heading out deep into the countryside. Although the M58 roars just to the north, we're nontheless in nice big fields.
Past the last farm, we join an unpaved road (a deadend, only serving the farm we just passed, so no traffic), and crossing a road and heading down some steps, before entering another field. The way ahead is more overgrown than the last: the crops grow right to the edge of the field, so you have to fight your way through ferns and long grass next to wheat and barley. It's even thicker as the footpath cuts around some trees, as the ferns grow to head height, and you can never be sure just where the boundary ditch is! Past the trees, there's a crossing of footpaths; I recommend taking a right here, then left, following the field boundary. Whilst not the official path, nor the one marked on this route, it's more favourable than the actual one: the footpath passes through tough foliage once more, before heading into a thick wood, full of nettles, brambles and all manner of fun!
Once through, we meet another unpaved road (again, a quiet one only serving a few houses and farms), before meeting the main road, paved. We cross the motorway junction (with tempting service station fast food and coffee!), before heading past Ashworth Hospital, Maghull North station and a row of shops. A subway under the crossroads with Northway brings us to Maghull Central Square, and the end.
Very much a foot-only route, with steps and rough rural terrain, but, apart from the overgrown sections, a good one.
