Ince Station to Hindley Station
Uses former railway lines through now-wooded areas with reed-filled ponds, plus narrower and muddy paths through Amberswood Common and an unclear footpath around playing fields. Good paths on the railway sections; heavy metal kissing gates restrict wheel users. Uses former railway lines from the Wigan coalfields; good for birdsong and wildlife, with deer seen.
