8 Miles / 12.9km with 500ft / 152m Total Ascent
Meet at Beacon Fell main car park (Sat Nav: PR3 2NL), ready for the usual start time 10:30am.
We will start by walking to the top of the fell to take in the lovely views across the Fylde and on a clear day all the way to the Lakeland hills. From here we drop down to Rigg Lane and then across the fields to Watery Gate Farm and eventually Lower Core Farm. Here we cross the road and proceed up the track to Blind Hurst Farm where they are now selling Gelato ice cream made on the farm (Whose buying?).
After our treats we pass through the farmyard across fields to Higher Fairsnape Farm. Through the farmyard we walk on to Holme House and then Hazelhurst Farm. We follow the farm road to the junction close to Bleasdale Tower at Clough Head cottages which was once a reform school.
We then follow the estate road down to Higher Brock Mill. We then traverse the fields and tracks past Wickens Barn up to Hatherways and onto the fell back to the cars.
