Couldn't be much better placed for the station.

The most direct route to the Continental from the railway line is to leap from the train just after crossing the Ribble (if approaching from the south). Probably not advisable.
There is a fairly pleasant walk of just over half a mile*, for those with the legs, lungs and heart to take it on, but the bad news is that it's a similar distance back, and uphill.
* West on Fishergate, crossing the railway bridge and passing County Hall, then left on Walton's Parade, right as it peters out, then left on West Cliff. This looks like it's heading for a dead end, but it continues as a footpath into Avenham and Miller Park. Avoid the railway underpass by turning right on a path and following the railway track (from below) as it approaches the river. Google maps loses the path at this point, but on the ground it emerges beside a sports ground with the pub in sight just before the river, on the corner of South Meadow Lane to the right.
