Pickerings Pasture (North Western Entrance) - Hale Bank, UK - Flora and Fauna Information Signs on Waymarking.com

The area is on the the north bank of the River Mersey where former industrial activity led to various flood defence and land drainage schemes. Indeed this nature reserve was for many years a land fill site before being reclaimed and turned into a nature reserve.

The sign is one of a series erected by Halton Borough Council. It shows a map of the area and although there are no pictures of the flowers and wildlife in the area it has a written description of various types of meadows that have been planted and seeded as part of the reclamation.

The Trans Pennine Trail
The Trans Pennine Trail is a national Cycle, Walking and in parts Horse Riding trail that crosses the UK east to west. It Connects Southport on the west coast with Hornsea on the east coast. It largely follows canals, disused railway tracks, riversides and cross country tracks, most of which are flat or on easy gradients.

Due to the land near here containing a sewage works the Trail leaves the bank of the River Mersey and a track connects with Hale Gate Road that leads to the village of Hale.
