About the route

Starting point

PR1 4LX

We cycle anticlockwise round the Guild Wheel to the Tickled Trout and then pick up pathways alongside the A59 towards Blackburn, before turning off towards Samlesbury Church and following the pathway and road through Balderstone to Mellor Brook for a short break.
After a break, we retrace our route and observe the views from the other direction.

Cycling to Mellor Brook affords fantastic views of the River Ribble and the magnificent countryside.

The roads are cycle paths and quiet country lanes.

At Mellor Brook, there is a cake shop, where we can purchase refreshments and have a socially distanced break.

Please wear a helmet and bring equipment to deal with a puncture. Please bring a snack or a card/money to purchase refreshments. Be prepared for chilly conditions at the start of the ride.

We never leave anyone behind
