Sunflower walk only open a few weeks a year is loved by Corrie star

A sunflower walk in Merseyside is loved by a Coronation Street star.

Sunflower Stroll on Gorsey Lane in Hightown has become a popular spot for families with its giant sandpit, picnic area and of course thousands of brightly coloured flowers.

This week Sunflower Stroll was visited by former Coronation Street actress Lucy Fallon with her newborn son Sonny Jude. The popular walk opened on August 9 and is only open for a few weeks in the year due to the sunflower's time in bloom.

You do not need to book to go on the walk and the stroll also has a woodland area, straw bale play area and you can pick your own sunflowers for £1 a stem. Lucy Fallon is renowned for her role as Bethany Platt in the long-running show. Lucy quit the Cobbles in 2020 and regularly keeps fans updated with her exciting life away from the screen.

The 27-year-old is in a happy relationship with Preston North End's Ryan Ledson - and the two thrilled fans when they revealed they had welcomed a baby boy earlier this year.

She and Ryan, from Liverpool, can be seen at the Sunflower Stroll along with their baby walking around the farm. It seems Lucy also opted to pick some sunflowers and one photo shows her holding a bouquet of them.

Lucy posted the day out on her Instagram and since racked up over 9,000 likes since it was put up yesterday. One person commented: "Love sunflowers very sharp colour too and indeed a lovely family you all are." Another person said: "Aww very cute and adorable photos."
