How to get there
Take J27 off the M6 heading East towards Northern Diver. almost immediately turn right (North) along the B5250. For the first part this road runs parallel with the M6. Follow the road until to get to Eccleston.
In the heart of Eccleston you come to a very small green on your left, immediately after that turn left along Bannister Road. About 1.5 miles down there you will see a thatched cottage on the left, take the road immediately before that on your right. This is Halfpenny Road but the sign is missing, about 50 yards down there on the right is the opening to Eccleston Delph.
