Hi,

Does anyone know if it is permitted to walk the various tree lined lengths of paths around Thornton Hough?

On the map they are marked down as paths but not rights of way.

Cheers

They're gated but there are no KEEP OUT signs so its worth a go.

Other than that the only bit which is a public right of way is a very short stretch at Brimstage.

Yes, many of the paths around Thornton Hough are walkable, they are either footpaths and in the last few years a number of bridle paths are also open to walk on.

There's one big one that is actually the entrance to Thornton Manor Estate . Doubt that is open to the public and it was possibly the once upon a time, route home for Mr Lever from Port Sunlight . It's On Brimstage Road between M53 and Brimstage craft centre.. on the left with wide entrance .

Cycle on them many times although a bit muddy at the moment . Enter from rocklands lane and choose from 4 directions.

This may be helpful Adrianb, though elsewhere it says maps are under review.
