28/01 – Clock Face Colliery and the Dream

Thanks to the suggestion from Bobby O, or just O, we’ll be heading to see the Dream and Clock Face Colliery Country Park! Several parks have been developed on old coal mines between Warrington and St Helens and we’ll be exploring a couple of them. The walk will start in the main car park for Clock Face Colliery Country Park (CFCCP), located off Gorsey Lane. Firstly we’ll head west along the path linking the two section of the park, across a field to the M62. Soon you’ll be able to see the Dream before ascending the hill to get a closer look at it’s massive face. After taking a few photos we’ll descend into Clock Face, across the town and into the fields on the opposite side for a couple of kilometres. We’ll cross the round and head into Colliers Moss Common via a small view point and find a lunch stop. The common is split by a railway line with one crossing point which we’ll use to have a little exploration of the northern section before returning to the main view point. Finally we’ll head back to the cars via some more parkland, a short stretch of road and back into CFCCP. There will be an optional trip to Ikea Warrington on the way home.
