Blackpool North to Poulton-le-Fylde
Recommended: A pleasant route out of Blackpool on suburban roads and through Stanley Park, then a cycle-and-walkway and a choice of hard-surfaced track or gravelled woodland path beside a stream and before housing estates and paved roads into Poulton. Largely flat and easy underfoot. Passes Blackpool Zoo. Stanley Park has an Art Deco cafe, gardens and a boating lake (occasionally affected by avian flu restrictions).
Time: 2h–4h
Lunch: An Art Deco cafe in Stanley Park, plus facilities in Normoss and at the Poulton end.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a fifth of the walk.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Blackpool North to Kirkham and Wesham
A varied route through parks and woods between Blackpool and Staining, then farm tracks and field paths parallel to the railway, with some long grass and parallel cycle paths that can confuse. Avoids a fast and narrow pavement-less road between Weeton and Wesham. Passes through Stanley Park, with its Art Deco cafe building; woods carpeted with wild garlic in spring; Staining lies about a third of the way along.
Time: 4h–8h30
Lunch: Staining, about a third of the way, has a pub and a convenience shop.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
