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 as soon as you are confident you will be available.
This circular walk will be about 4 miles long and has a variety of interesting features. There are three short fields of crops to cross and a number of farms to pass, and a small wood to walk through. The walk is mostly quite level and all of the paths are fairly well used. The return route takes you fair way along a quite country lane before following a long stretch of river Dee pathway onto the Duke of Westminster’s estate. He has given permission to use a section of his drive to gain access to the path uphill over a meadow, past a church, and back to the start. It’s unlikely you will meet any farm animals and there are only a few stiles, and only one you may have to lift any dogs over.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments.
