...in Ormskirk.
The 4.2151 miles (6.7835 km) route, of the Walk part of the Walk & Wednesday Pub Lunch has been saved; it can be viewed at...
From Town Green Station, we went onto Town Grenn Lane, turned right, crossed the bridge over the railway and continued to the T-junction with the B5197 (Prescot Road).
Here we turned right.
Where Prescot Road takes quite a sharp right, we crossed the road and headed down a small road...
Taking the second footpath on the left we continued along the edge of a woodland...
...then a field.
We crossed the stile on our left and headed straight across the field to a second stile; here we crossed the road and another stile and, keeping the hedge on our right, eventually emerged onto a drive to the farm we had just past.
Beside the path there were a number of fungi...
We turned left and, when reaching Long Lane, turned right, then first left along Cropper's Lane.
Throughout the walk there were lots of wild flowers, trees in flower...
...and birds (Green Plovers and skylarks in particular); we also disturbed a rabbit.
At Catherine's Lane we turned left and, at the end of the lane, crossed Scarth Hill Lane following a clear path round to Altys Lane, where we turned left.
To our right we could see Edge Hill University in the distance, and more wild flowers next to a stream...
There was also further flowers developing on trees next to the road...
Just past Ormskirk Cricket Club we turned left down Brook Lane and under the railway line...
The small brook, beside the road, had sticklebacks in it.
On the other side of the tunnel under the railway we paused to stroke a somewhat heavily pregnant cat...
...which departed as a train crossed above us...
More blossom in bushes next to the brook...
...and at the B5139 we crossed at the zebra crossing and continued along the narrow path next to the brook...
When we reached Coronation Park...
...we headed towards the pond then, keeping the pond on our right, headed to Church Fields Road.
Heading up the hill to the junction with Ormskirk Civic Hall on our left, we crossed the zebra crossing and doubled back up the hill where the A570 meets Derby Street West.
Here we turned right and then first left along Church Street.
We had arrived at Disraeli's...
You can find out about the Pub Lunch at...
For its Real Ales and Service, it managed to get into the League table which can be viewed at...
After lunch we continued along Church Street, turning left along Railway Road, and then right along Derby Street.
After crossing the bridge over the railway line, we turned left down Station Approach to Ormskirk Station.
All that was left to do was to catch the train back to Maghull.
Just got home before the rain started!
All in all, another enjoyable W&WPL - Number 19!
