We did the Cornfield and Hurst Green loop, took about 2hrs, past the cornfields, into woods along the river, thru fields (with sheep so dogs on leads) 1/2 mile on the road and fields and woods again. Weather had been wet so some places were muddy, but very doable for the regular walker.
As with many of the smaller places of interest in Lancashire, there's no car park, and signage is poor. We couldn't find anywhere near the bridge to park safely and had to park further along the road and then walk for about five minutes with little to no pavement.
When you find the path to the bridge, it's only a short walk, but it's not the best of paths and probably not suitable for for those who aren't steady on their feet.
Access to the river itself at the bridge would involve some scrambling, but if you cross the road, and walk along the path with the river to your right for about ten minutes you'll be find a few areas where it levels out and you can paddle etc.
