It's a great place for walking dogs or just a nice stroll. Open to the weather, so pick the right day. We tend to do a 1.5-hour walk, but you can carry on much further on the trans pennine if you like

Nice little walk along the front. Nothing of great significance but was a nice walk none the less

As a former landfill site, Pickerings Pastures has been transformed into a lovely biodiversity site, helped to be maintained by a friend’s volunteer group that I’ve been able to join recently. The area is great for dog walking, cycling ( part of route 62 of The Trans Penine Trail) and a great view of the Mersey with both old and new Runcorn bridges in the distance. The bird hide has recently been replaced recently by Halton Council and provides a great backdrop to watch birdlife. There is a wildflower meadow and an interesting garden area with a bug house built by the member of the friends volunteer group. There are lots of Canada Geese present at the moment and see a wide range of birds there. Just a nice place to walk and take in the views.
