Pub Walk to The Fernhill Public House at Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire

Pub Walk to Fernhill Public House at Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire

An easy family pub walk down to the River Wyre and the Site of Special Scientific Interest at Barnaby's Sands.

Easy, level walking along roads, tracks and fields. Field paths can be muddy. Look out for the old brine wells as you work your way down to the River Wyre. The route includes a section of the 16 mile Wyre Way which is a circular walk from Knott End to Fleetwood.

The Fernhill was first built in 1840 as a country landowners residence and continued as such for over 100 years. In the 1950's the building was converted into a restaurant and opened to the public before finally becoming both a public house and restaurant in the 1970's.

For details click on Fernhill Public House Pub Walk or you can find others in the area at Lancashire Pub Walks.
