Walking – Cleveleymere & Scorton is a popular spot for walkers and there are a number of routes that start in the village centre. The Millennium way route to Garstang is always very busy as people wander up away from the road edge and overlook the river and fields. At the back of  Cleveleymere is the hill, Nicky Nook and standing at the top of it, you have the best view in Lancashire. The 360-degree panorama includes Morecambe Bay, Blackpool Tower, Lake District fells and even the shadowy outline of the Isle of Man. Well worth the short climb!
