Once over the level crossing, however, the road becomes unpaved, and there are a couple of blind turns, so care is needed, but the trees soon clear and we're on a road running through the fields with ample verges and flat horizons so you can see approaching traffic. Through a couple more fields (including one which is quite narrow between crops and then a barn), we arrive at another unpaved country road. An unpaved road walk eventually brings us into Mawdesley and civilisation once more; there's a couple of shops and pubs, but it's mainly a sleepy commuter/country village, and paved throughout. Past a couple of farms, an unpaved road brings us to a paved one, but we're soon down a driveway which becomes a footpath....
Hiking Historian
Mostly good, but one section lets it down: the route suggests leaving Meadow Lane along a little track, over the brook and joining the footpath. Only the track is muddy and private between fields, and there's no crossing over the deep brook. I've amended this on BurEcc Two....

Hiking Historian added Burecc two, a new walk from Burscough to Eccleston (Lancashire)
Walk this routeThere are quite a few stiles to negotiate and fair bit of walking along the main road on the pavement. Some of the footpaths were a bit overgrown so had to pay attention on the part into the back of Eccleston....

Becomes more of a hiking route as is progresses to cross Park Hall Road (very narrow due to overgrowth where the route crosses the railway line with lots of stiles etc to climb over....
Mr Neil Hartley
When I was hiking I did catch myself thinking "I wouldn't come this way", especially the bit through Spring Wood. Quite overgrown & muddy but still straight forward enough and there is the option to stay on the 'metalled road' (footpath)....
Runtoexplore
Does use a fair bit of road, but it is footpathed and there is the option to get off road on a few occasions if one was so inclined....
