This is an old coal mine and now part of the Mersey Forest, and features a giant girl’s head at the top (Dream). The path up to the top is fairly steep but in decent condition. I followed the path around the edge of the area which takes you down the side of the M62 and then back down to the lake before bringing you back to the start
Did this route recently & found it quite enjoyable. Found several places a bit muddy/boggy but only to be expected due to amount of rain. Went when we thought it would be quiet week day early afternoon but quite a few dog walkers & cyclists. Some parts very narrows you had to stop to let them pass. A fair bit of rubbish around but as the only bin is st the entrance it’s no wonder. A fair bit of fog mess but I’d rather that than see bags of it lying around. A slight hike to the Dream statue but was worth it was born in St. Helens & live nearby but had never been to see it. It’s a shame that a few mindless idiots feel it’s clever to deface& damage it & clearly have no idea what it represents. Would recommend decent foot wear if your going to tackle the steep ramp. Will be going back when weather improves.
