The Canal Walk - Long Route 

The house to house canal walk (Croston House, Garstang to Vine House, Ribbleton) in its entirety is between 19 and 20 miles in length, ideal for regular walkers or for those wanting to train and fancy a challenge. There will be refreshments stops on route, offering sausage butties (vegetarian options will be available) at the end of the walk at Vine House.

The Canal Walk - Group Relay

Fancy the challenge, but want to split the leg work? - You can complete the full distance as a group. The route is split into 3 sections, so you could complete the full distance as a group, with each of you walking a 1/3 of the route each (like a relay). There will be refreshments stops on route, offering sausage butties (vegetarian options will be available) at the end of the walk at Vine House.
