| 399 Lydiate | ||
It's not very often we do a completely flat walk - but on the Lancashire coastal plain there are very few hills. Here pleasant footpaths link the Cheshire Lines former railway with the Leeds Liverpool Canal, and the highlight is the ruined St Katherine's Chapel. This walk needs so little energy that with two pubs, a farmhouse tea, and absolutely no ascent, you'll weigh more at the finish than when you started.
