Geocache Description:

A short walk along the old tramway from Preston to Bamber Bridge

History of the old Tramway

The Lancashire Canal company built the tram way in 1803 to link the canal south of Preston at Walton Summit to the Lancaster Canal north of Preston. Wagons were towed along the tramway by horses. Chains powered by a steam engine pulled wagons up the steep hill in Avenham Park.
The tramway was closed in 1859 due to competition from the railways. Only now with the building of the Ribble link canal is the Lancaster canal finally being connected to the rest of the canal network.

A very popular walk with lots of dog walkers, walkers, runners & cyclists.

This is also part of the national cycle network and is accessible by wheelchair.
