Starting point




Lancashire
PR25 4XD

A foodies' day out as well as a tour of 2 historic parks containing 2 cafés, an ice-cream parlour & a bar, all set inside former stately homes. The tour starts in Leyland taking in the sights en route via Buckshaw Village, Astley Village, Eccleston, Parbold, Bispham Green, Mawdesley, Croston & finally finishing at the unique El Tano Argentine Wine & BBQ Emporium café bar inside Worden Hall within Worden Park.

A mixture of busy main roads, residential streets, quiet & sometimes narrow country lanes, shared cycle paths & cycle lanes. N.B. HILLY AREA AROUND PARBOLD HILL (after Eccleston) with undulating long roads which require good fitness, stamina & low gears to climb.

A late brekkie at Astley Park is optional but we WILL be pausing at least TWICE for suitable refreshments/ice-cream & breaks from the sun & heat. We can stop at the Delph Diving & Watersports Centre for another break and a late lunch will be at the end of the ride, at El Tano wine bar, where Marco the chef & sommelier will have prepared some authentic Argentine empanadas & biscoff & dulce de leche (like butterscotch) pudding. Also there're extensive wine lists to accompany your treats. "Yerba Mate" (Argentine green tea) is available in form of teabag.
