Glasson dock is within easy walking distance of the site and the Wyre Villager Bus route 89 passes the site entrance. This harbour originally opened in 1787, following the demise of Lancaster as a port, and was at its height the largest port in the North West, importing cotton, sugar, spices and slaves from Africa and the Indies. Lancaster canal was important in affording swift distribution of cargo landed at the port into the heart of industrial Lancashire.
Glasson is still a working port handling over 150,000 tonnes of cargo annually. The village of Glasson has a small selection of shops and places to eat, smoke house and there are excellent walks in the surrounding countryside and along the coast of Morecambe Bay.
Linked to Lancaster by the Lune Estuary Cycleway. Attractive and interesting environment with walks right round the harbour. Large public car park.
Lydiate is a Liverpool suburb to the north of Maghull. It’s on the outskirts of the village and the best approach is from the A59 Ormskirk to Liverpool road.
