Situated In A Very Nice Sybhurb Just South Of Warrington. The Best Place To Park Is By The Walled Garden On Astor Drive. On Sunny Sundays It Can Get Quite Busy.

Spike Island Great Sankey Canal
As The Ferry Tavern Is In The Middle Of Spike Island Widnes And Sankey Valley Park Warrington I Find It The Best Place To Park As There Is Free Parking And A Dog Friendly Pub. From The Ferry Tavern You Can Choose Which Way You Want To Walk, Widnes Or Warrington But Both Paths Will Be Flat And About 4 Miles Until You Reach Nice Open Areas Ideal For Playing With Your Companion Then Walk Back Down To The Dog Friendly Tavern For Refreshments For Yourself Before You Leave. Very Nice Day Out For A Long Walker. 109 Steward'S Ave Widnes Lancashire WA8 7BP 5.23 miles This Is The Middle Of The Route From Spike Island Widnes To Sankey Valley Park, There Are Many Stops Along This Canal Where You Can Park Depending On How Far You Want To Walk. The Ferry Tavern Is A Dog Friendly Pub So I Find This The Best Place To Park.
