Great off road route. Heading south to north coming out at Plex Moss Lane gives easy access east or west. Alternatively come off before on the quiet route from Formby to Haskayne.

Cycling

The Trans Pennine Trail is a coast-to-coast route across the entire breadth of England from Southport to Hornsea. It is well signposted and some sections, including this one, are suitable for horse riding. This section follows the route of the historic Cheshire Lines railway, now dismantled. The Cheshire Lines Railway Company used to operate services across the Lancashire Mossland along this route between Liverpool and Southport. After its closure in 1952 and acquisition by West Lancashire District Council in 1988 the line was constructed as a dual use cycle and footpath with parallel bridleway.

This section of the Trans pennine trail is predominantly made up of gravel and uneven hard packed dirt, once you get close to Maghull the surface changes to tarmac.
