Wyre Lakes to Dolphinholme with Katie Clenshaw
6 Miles / 9.7km with 360ft / 110m Total Ascent
Meet at Scorton Picnic Site near Scorton (Sat Nav: PR3 1BU), ready for the usual start time 10:30am.
From Scorton Picnic Site we cross the bridge over the river Wyre, then follow the Wyre Way northwards. At first we walk through woodland next to the Wyre, then under the motorway and past Wyreside Lakes caravan park and fishing lakes (Sunnyside on the map) to Street Bridge. We continue past Coreless Mill to Dolphinholme where we may climb up to the church for lunch. Returning to the river, we cross the bridge at Dolphinholme and take a path southeast across fields to Wagon Road, where we continue southwest towards Street. Here we take the footpath which heads below Street Farm, eventually reaching Foxhouses Farm Cottages. Parts of this section were muddy but passable on the reccie. We continue along the farm lane until we reach the road where we turn right to head back to the car park.
Alternatively, we could continue to the Applestore for a cup of tea, which adds about just under 2 miles to the walk.
