Preston Marina

Today I went for a walk around the marina a pleasant stroll, however I then explored further and found the Millennium walk going off from the swing bridge at the top of the marina. Follow to the right to explore the top end of the lock and to see what the docks must have been like, great if you are a social and industrial historian. If you go left you follow the Riverside a lovely walk along the Ribble including the old quay side. I only went as far as Penwortham old bridge but by the end of the walk had completed around 5miles.

Lovely morning spent exploring marina area and finishing with coffee and ice cream at the Marina cafe. Great choice of things to eat and ice cream flavours. Loads to see on walk including water skiers, bridge moving to allow yachts through, dragon boats, wildlife and the Ribble steam train!

Only ever pass through cycling, but it's a nice spot and seems very popular.

Here for refresher Power Boat course, very friendly staff on site. Lovely cafe and restaurant. The team is a family run business, registered with RYA. Can highly recommend Chris the powerboat tutor. Lots of other boat courses/training on offer too, can recommend it. Great ice creams too!

Nice walk around the docks on a sunny day !.

Fantastic walk around...good views and always cold in winter..saved the country during WW2...and the place were the Moran's left for the USA due to massive pressure from the local Catholic church of our
Priest town...or now called
Preston

You know what I was really surprised at Preston marina. It really is a pleasant walk around the boats and Turn nests.
Only thing that let's it down is its not very well kept and watching two sets of people lobbing rubbish into the water brings you back down to where you rally are

Today I started my walk at Preston Marina, which is a lovely place to walk around even on a chilly Saturday morning in March. The Marina was busy with families, joggers- still don’t understand these people, cyclists and bikers, but social distancing measures were in place so it felt comfortable. I decided to walk around the Marina, a good walk in itself, and then join the Riverside walk which took me into Avenham Park. The route is pretty much flat so suitable for all ages and abilities, plus it is dog and child friendly with being mostly away from the main roads. The views along the way are really lovely and there are benches along the way to rest weary feet, plus places to refresh yourself with food or drink. I completed my walk in Avenham Park, and as the pictures show, it is still stunning on a cold March morning. Definitely a walk to recommend to you all.
