Overview

A circular walk using rights of way across Hesketh New Marsh to reach the King Charles III Way (England Coastal Path) and follow this along the boundary of the RSPB reserve. Throughout there are extensive views across the Ribble Estuary and the River Douglas. The walk is across entirely flat ground with just one stile. Because the route is slightly longer then our normal afternoon walks it is graded as moderate.
Much of the walk follows the England Coastal Path.
