Grid Ref: SJ 6179 8751 Post Code: WA4 1DU

During this 9-mile walk, we will walk from Victoria Park to Bank Quay railway station to meet anyone joining us by train. Next stop is the Transporter Bridge (one of only three remaining in the UK, though in somewhat derelict condition). We then walk to the site of Arpley Meadows (where the only wartime bomb that involved loss of life in Warrington was dropped). Lunch will be shortly before we return to Victoria Park (anyone parked here could leave the walk after 7 miles). We will continue to the cemetery (where George Formby is buried) before returning to Victoria Park and then the station. This is NOT a scenic walk but contains elements of history and interest along the way. Expect road and tarmacked footpaths.

Dogs are welcome on this walk: A maximum of 1 dog on a short lead per walker.
