Beacon Country Park is a flagship countryside site, consisting of over 300 acres of rolling countryside spread across the slopes of Ashurst Beacon between Upholland, Dalton and Skelmersdale.
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, with plenty of space to walk, run, ride horses / bicycles or fly kites. You can even enjoy a drink and a bite to eat in our café, or have a picnic outside and take in the surrounding beautiful countryside.
