Hi

Can you please tell me where Arley nature Reserve is, as I've no idea? Thanks

It’s just off the A5106 Chorley to Standish road near Kilhey Court.

I parked in the lay-by opposite the junction with Platt Lane and walked east for 1/2 a mile along a track. Alternatively, there is a Worthington reservoir car park nearer Standish from which you can take in these reservoirs too.

Arley is just north of the Worthington and Adlington reservoirs.

Thanks.
