Preston Guild Wheel

Temporary change to the Guild Wheel route

A small diversion to the Guild Wheel route on the west side of Preston is being put in place from Monday 6 January. The change is for safety reasons during construction work on the new Preston Western Distributor road scheme, near the popular walking and cycling route. This will affect people on the Guild Wheel between Savick Brook and the bridge over Blackpool Road. Coming from the bridge, the route will temporarily run towards the side of Riversway and then up towards Savick Brook. Once the construction work has finished in 2023, the Guild Wheel will be able to return to its current route.

 

The Preston Guild Wheel is a 21 mile "Greenway" that encircles the city of Preston, linking the city to the countryside. It is both a walking and cycling route. Built by Lancashire County Council with the support of Preston City Council and the significant input of volunteers from the Guild Wheel Users Group, the Guild Wheel creates a lasting legacy that not only marks the 2012 Preston Guild, but provides a valuable and on-going commemoration of the Guild, benefitting Preston residents and visitors alike for years to come. The Guild Wheel route makes the most of the different landscapes that surround the city, creating a rich and varied environment for everyone to enjoy.

 


To the south of the city, it takes you alongside the gently meandering River Ribble, past ancient woodland, historic city centre parks, the larget nineteenth century dock in Europe and Brockholes Nature Reserve by the M6. Other highlights of the route include the Ribble Link Canal and the woodlands area at Longsands.
