Walking & Cycling Trails in Preston

Preston has room to stretch your legs without a long drive. Mason's Wood Trail is a free woodland walk close to the centre, good for dogs and buggies, with bluebells worth timing a spring visit for. The Preston Guild Wheel loops right round the city for twenty-one miles, taking in the River Ribble and Avenham Park, so you can pick a short stretch or make a day of it on foot or by bike. Further out, Nicky Nook is a proper fell walk with reservoir views and a trig point summit to aim for. For toddlers or a quick outing after school, Mason's Wood is the one to pick, flat, free and easy to reach on public transport. If you fancy cycling or want a route with options to shorten or extend, the Guild Wheel is more flexible than it sounds, dip in near Avenham Park and turn back whenever legs give out. Nicky Nook suits older children who can manage a proper climb and want the sense of having earned the view at the top.
