Easy Countryside and Waterway Guided Walk ~ In Cheshire and Free.
This free guided walk is open to the general public, and suitable for beginners. If you’re keeping fit and well and 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 circular walk will be about 4.8 miles long and includes many footpaths not often used. A very rural route with hardly any roads but very pleasant scenery including several lush meadows. All of the stiles and gates are old but in fair order, but with the route being little used the footpaths across fields are invisible and sometimes uneven. From Venetian Marina the return part of the walk is along a canal footpath which is a very pleasant gentle stroll with numerous boats to admire, and possibly the odd passing one. The walk is difficult for dogs as the stiles are unfriendly. Suitable footwear will be boots especially after heavy rain.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments and this walk will finish with an optional pub lunch.
