Countryside and Waterway Guided Walk ~ In Cheshire and Free.
This free guided walk is suitable for agile beginners, so if you’re keeping fit and well wish to come along and join us, we would love to see more guest visitors. Please book your place for the walk, and perhaps for lunch, as soon as you are confident you will be available.
This quite challenging circular walk will be about 5 miles long; the first half is along footpaths which are invisible and not often used. There are some delightful hot points such as the magnificent thatched cottage where the route includes the edge of their lawn, soon followed by an enchanting spinney. However, most of the route crosses simple rural landscapes and sometimes fields of crops. The twelve stiles are in good order, but take a walking stick, as we may come across the occasional cow. The waterway section follows a long length of the Llangollen Canal, and passes three locks where we may see a boat passing through.
There will be a ten-minute break half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments and this guided walk in the Barbridge countryside and along canal towpaths will finish with an optional pub lunch or drinks in the lounge.
