Day 18

6th June 2026

Saturday and good news the railway in Helsby has reopened after a change of management so Jane and I decide to complete the Helsby pubs with a circular walk

The hornsmill - Helsby

  • Distance from home:                  3.1 miles
  • Total distance covered:            71.9 miles
  • Pubs visited so far:                       43

This is a Large pub and was taken over by Hydes some time ago. Very pleasant pint of Hydes bitter. The pub is busy for early on a Saturday.

The Railway- Helsby

  • Distance from home:                  3.7 miles
  • Total distance covered:            73.1 miles
  • Pubs visited so far:                       44

When I walked past here a couple of weeks ago it was shut but has reopened with a new manager who is very welcoming to us . A community pub which is surprisingly spacious inside. We enjoy a pint of Lager before charlie picks us up.
