Blackpool to Poulton-le-Fylde
A station-to-station walk
Gentle
5
MI
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).
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.
