spots across the county making for perfect picnic spots, here are some Treasure Trails for those who fancy incorporating a little adventure to build up an appetite for their summer picnic moments.

Here are a couple of the most popular Lancashire Trails with perfect picnic spots below.  

East Lancashire Railway - The Trail follows the route of the East Lancashire Railway, starting at Bury Bolton Street station. The Trail explores the quaint riverside village of Irwell Vale and the busy market town of Ramsbottom from the stations along the line.

Blackpool Trail - The Trail starts in front of the North Pier and takes in the Grand Theatre and world-famous Blackpool Tower. your finish point is along the promenade on the magnificent Comedy Carpet.

From there you drop down to the riverside and historic St George's Quay, where ships headed off to the Caribbean and Americas, before returning to the start point in the city centre.
