ST HELENS Council's Ranger Service have organised a nine-mile walk this Sunday at 10am.

Starting at Sankey Valley Visitors Centre, Blackbrook, walkers will go through Sankey Valley to Crank Caverns and Kings Moss where lunch will be taken before climbing to the highest point in Merseyside, Billinge Beacon, prior to the return journey. Suitable footwear and clothing are advised.

For those who prefer a more relaxed event then get along to the formal gardens at Sherdley Park on the same day at 1.30pm when Parr Brass Band will be performing.
