We leave the car park and look for the canal so we can follow it south to White Horse Lane. Crossing White Horse lane we take the track to Higher then lower Park head and rejoin the canal at Park Head Bridge. It´s a short stay on the canal before taking the track to towards Fence Foot.
At the cross roads we turn left to go the across fields to join Moss Lane at Hallidays Farm. Here we turn left to Lee Farm and then cross more fields to get to St Michael´s Road. From here we head to Myerscough College, taking care not to get run over where we have to use the road.
Once at Myerscough College we may take the opportunity to have refreshment at the Gardens Tea Room, before tracking down Myerscough Hall Drive back to the cars.
