Wyreside Lakes Fishery & Campsite

Wyre Way (Garstang to Abbeystead)

Follows the River Wyre through Lancashire farmland and quiet woodland, with mostly flat terrain and a few gentle inclines as you head inland. The 10-mile route is well-marked and suitable for older children used to longer walks, though muddy stretches and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards you with peaceful riverside scenery, stone bridges, and the chance to spot kingfishers and herons along this historic waterway.

Wyre Way (Tarnbrook Loop)

Loops through the Tarnbrook valley with moderate climbs over fields and moorland tracks that can be muddy after rain. Decent fitness needed for the undulating sections, making it less suitable for buggies or very young children, though older kids who enjoy a proper countryside walk will manage fine. Dogs welcome on leads near farmland. Rewards you with sweeping Forest of Bowland views and a peaceful sense of remoteness that feels miles from anywhere.

Wyre Way (Shard Bridge to Garstang)

Follows the River Wyre through flat, easy terrain on mostly firm paths and quiet lanes – ideal for families with buggies and young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Expect peaceful riverside scenery, birdwatching opportunities (especially waders and wildfowl), and charming views into Garstang's historic market town. A gentle, accessible stretch perfect for a leisurely waterside amble with minimal effort and maximum calm.
