Hale Head Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Hale Head Lighthouse was built to guide ships into the Upper Mersey. It is the most southerly point in Lancashire.

The channel above Garston was first lit in 1838. The original lighthouse at Hale Head was established at the same time, with land being leased from the Blackburne family of Hale Hall.

The original lighthouse was a short square tower. An adjacent cottage had previously been used as a bathing house and was converted into dwellings for the lighthouse keeper and family.
To get to the light house there is a long gravel path so take extra care if on a road bike.

Nice walk. However, very, very muddy and a dodgy bridge. So beware! Great little woodland walk with an enchanting "abandoned" walled field with some old horse lean to shelters.
