Renovated coastal cycle path open

The site runs almost parallel with the A588 main road

An improved coastal path for cyclists, walkers and horse riders has been officially opened in Lancashire.

The path runs along a former railway line from Aldcliffe to Glasson Greenway.

Located on the River Lune estuary flood plain, the site runs almost parallel with the A588 main road, which connects Poulton-le-Flyde with Lancaster.

To mark the opening of the path the council is holding a guided bike ride, wildlife walks and a cycling roadshow.

Part of the path, between Conder Green and Aldcliffe, is also part of National Cycle Network Route 6 which links Lancaster with Preston.

The route needed renovation due to problems with poor signage, vandalised ameneties and overgrown and invasive vegetation.
