Viewpoint Bench in Beacon Country Park
Highlight • Forest
The site boasts flowing wildflower meadows, grassland, natural ponds and areas of semi-natural woodland. It commands majestic panoramic views across most of Lancashire with viewpoints overlooking the Lancashire Plain to the west and the West Pennine Moors to the east.
An extensive path network means that everyone can explore the park and there is plenty of space to walk, run, ride horses or bicycles, fly kites, or just get away from it all and relax.

Views from Crank Road
Highlight • Climb
It has beautiful scenery surrounded by farm land and fields and finally takes you up the hill a couple of 8-9%. Then, when you reach the golf club, it's up to 10% and finally 14% where the road is lined with lots of trees.
The road goes to the right your not quite finished. As you reach the top, you will see Billinge Pike over in the field and the gate to the farm.
Congratulations, you've beaten the Crank Hill and you're at the highest point in Merseyside.
