The Knott End circular via Muffy's Platt and Tongues Farm!

Join Stephen on a salaciously named 11 mile walk in and around the Lancashire seaside town of Knott End. A little known place over the River Wyre from Fleetwood.

We will set off by walking along the Wyre Way,  passing through the bird reserve at Barnaby Sands.

Heading inland we will see the remains of the local salt mining industry which ended abruptly in the early 20th Century when various salt caverns began to collapse thus creating various flashes (large ponds). Don't worry, we will be safe.

The walk will venture through Pressall situated on the only hill on the walk with views across to the Bowland Fells.

From there we will pass numerous funny named farms and lanes hence the name of the walk. See the photos!

Eventually arriving on the coast to head back into Knott End along the coastal path with views towards the Lake District.

Bizarrely we may spot some emus and white peacocks in the adjoining fields!

If you fancy, we can finish the walk at the Bourne Arms pub for a well-deserved pint or coffee.
