Pickering's Pasture

A local beauty spot fantastic for bird watching and dog walking or just taking in some air. It is wheelchair accessible it is well paved although there are a couple of steep slopes. Run entirely by volunteers. Picnic area with tables.

Lovely peaceful place with the the local aroma from the sewage works and the pet food rendering factory beyond top of staircase to Heaven, but lovely views and its on the Trans Pennine trail cycle route for cyclists and those who dont cycle. Free car park as well, for those who drive to the country and sit in their cars with engine running reading a paper

Lovely little place for dog walk. Lots of parking and it wasn’t too busy. I was walking my 7 month puppy and found it a good place to practice recall.

Pickering pastures is a beautiful nature reserve. With multiple paths and routes around the area, you can be sure of a pleasant walk along the river Mersey, through wooded areas or open fields.Many people use this fabulous location to walk their four-legged friends. With bins situated along several of the routes, there is really no reason not to tidy up after yourselves either. Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen. If you're of the bird watching persuasion, there are many birds to be seen on the river or in the reserve. There is also a bird watching spot at the western most point.On the main car park and along the main path, there are several picnic areas that look out over the water. Also, on the car park is a visitors centre, unfortunately this is seldom open.Down sides to this area are that the bins are regularly overflowing as the council tends not to bother with the ones away from the car park. Dog mess on the paths away from the tarmaced areas. And finally, depending on what time it is or what the weather is like, it can be very busy. These are all personal points of view, of course.As part of the trans Pennine trail, going from Southport to Hornsea, it is a beautiful spot along it. The trail will take you to some local areas such as Spike Island and Fiddlers Ferry.

Lovely place to walk, ride your bike or chill on a bench. Nice smooth walk way ideal for prams and wheelchairs and some more off track paths to. Free car park too.

It's worth a visit. Good place to walk dogs

Great sunrise views. Nice walking paths & lots of green space picnic tables.

Beautiful walk, fantastic views.Nice walks with solid paths or off the track field walks.Can get busy at times.Good parking area at the place with a great view too if you don't fancy a walk

Really nice place for a walk. It's great to be up close to the Mersey and see how fast the water goes up or down. The path was well kept and a nice long walk with great views!

Pickering Pastures is one of my favourite places to visit with views of the Jubilee bridge and the Mersey gateway. The path is tarmac and small gravel if you cycle it's fine. There are about 6 flights of stairs and a bridge over Ditton Brook you will need to carry your this up and down and it's not wheelchair accessible.You get wonderful views of Runcorn over the Mersey River and on a sunny day its perfect.If you've never been its a must there is a car park and many dog walking routes.
