Three walks in and around Stanley Park

1. Stanley Park Heritage Trail

Take a stroll round Stanley Park and view its historic features.

In 1995 Stanley Park was placed on the national register of historic parks and gardens (Grade II*) - indicating that it is of 'great historic significance'. The Blackpool Civic Trust hopes that you enjoy your tour around this landscape masterpiece.

A leaflet is available from the Visitor Centre detailing the walk. We have prepared a Google Map version which is below and a larger version can be viewed by clicking the link beneath the map.

Also click on 'Sat' in the top right hand corner for a birds eye view.

2. Stanley Park Nature Trail

In addition to the heritage walk a Stanley Park Nature Trail leaflet is available in the Visitor Centre.

The above walk is produced in co-operation with Blackpool Council Parks Department. The Google Maps are one of several on the Blackpool Civic Trust Google list. Videos of Blackpool including the park are shown on the ThisIsBlackpool YouTube channel.

3. Town and Nature Walk

Blackpool Tower to Stanley Park, Salisbury Woodland and Marton Mere

If you like nature then the walk through the park to Salisbury Woodland and on to the bird watchers paradise at Marton Mere is for you. The full walk from Blackpool Tower is quite long, about 3 miles in one direction although buses cover most of the route.

There are points of interest shown along the route and you can sit in the park cafe for a refreshment.

The route to Stanley Park from Blackpool Tower is fairly straightforward and about one and a half miles. If you follow the winding route it is another one and a half miles to Marton Mere although a more direct route is under a mile.

The walk is a bit pick and choose as the park may be enough.

By taking the open top bus, in season, you can cut down the walking.

Friends of Stanley Park can take no responsibility for anything that may happen on your walk. We have regularly used it without any problems.
