Elston Lane in Big Wood Adopted by the Ribble Way long distance footpath - but maybe for not much longer.
About half a mile further on, the trail takes to fields before descending sharply through woods to cross Tun Brook - but the footbridge has gone, and it will be a very long time if ever that a replacement is constructed.
A red notice near Place House Farm advises walkers to find an alternative route, and another partially obscured effort in Big Wood tells Ribble Way walkers to turn round, and then turn left off Elston Lane before Chapel House Farm.
This will take walkers across Tun Brook, and will probably see the Ribble Way permanently re-routed on this footpath.
