A slightly shorter, though similar route to "Chorley to Longton".
Leaving from Astley Hall, Chorley PR7 1XA.
Car Parking is conveniently located on Hallgate, Astley Village, Chorley PR7 1NP. This is a fairly large car park and is free at all times (though not for much longer!). There are toilets at Astley Hall, but will probably only be open between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The route is anti-clockwise through Astley Village, along Euxton Lane to Euxton, Runshaw and Runshaw Hall Lane passing through Worden Park into Leyland. From Leyland the route accesses country roads to Midge Hall, Longton, Walmer Bridge and Much Hoole to Croston. Return is via NCN 91 to rejoin Runshaw lane before turning off down Pear Tree Lane back to Astley Park. An overall flat route.
Total distance is 25 miles.
