Newchurch Railway Tunnels and Great War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

Recently re-opened railway tunnels which are now part of the East-Lancashire cycleway. Apparently the tunnels are lit just enough to see by but too bright for bats to roost!

Great Cafe inside a church. Very bike freindly. They even let you take your muddy bike inside whilst you eat. Worth a visit.
