Smugglers Lane Walk

Most of the face-to-face activities (apart from Claver Hill food growing project) for refugees and asylum seekers that make Lancaster so special have been suspended due to Coronavirus.
But physical exercise and being outdoors is very important for our physical and mental health, and we can now do this with a friend from outside our household.
So, why not try this 2-3 mile walk, following Sue’s clear instructions, starting on the canal at Aldcliffe Road, LA15BE?
