  1. The walk follows the distinctive green waymarkers. It starts at the board by the Millennium Mosaic and follows the riverside path to Bridge Street and Bonds Bridge.
  2. After crossing the bridge turn left along Castle Lane and continue on to Greenhalgh Castle Farm. The castle is on your left just before the farmhouse. Please do not walk up to the Castle as the ruins are unsafe.
  3. Walk through the farmyard, and continue to a stile on your left. After crossing the stile keep to the left hedgerow of the field to another stile. Go over the stile and across the field to another stile, which leads to the former Garstang to Knott-End railway.
  4. Follow the old railway until you have crossed the River Wyre. Look for the steps on your left or the access ramp further on the right and walk down to the riverside path and around the cricket field back to the Millennium Mosaic.
