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.
An excellent circular walk with a wide variety of good views. The beach is great for summer walking alongside the River Dee estuary, and it even includes a short section of the famous Wirral Way. Most of the route is fairly flat, but there is a short and steep section on rustic steps to start your climb up the steep slope out of the dungeon past the only natural waterfall in the Wirral. (A dungeon is a local word for a steep sided wooded valley). The majority of the footpaths are well used and unlikely to get muddy except for a few patches through the wood. There are no stiles and the kissing gates are in good order so it’s also a great walk for dogs.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments.

Details
The length of this walk.....
.....is only 4 miles, and at a slow pace - so we won’t walk too fast for you.
This walk is suitable for all adults having good mobility. Excellent for friendly dogs, but hopeless for wheelchairs. Suitable footwear will be anything stout and flat soled; trainers will be fine but boots will be the best. If it has recently been raining heavily there could be a few occasional muddy patches. The pub toilets will be available at the finish of the walk; and hopefully at the start.
Assemble at 10.15 am for a 10.30 start. Finish about 1.15 pm.
Booking your place
To book, you will need to text ‘I would like to join the walk’ to the walk’s organiser & guide: – Derek Smith – 07500 300 347 – and I will phone you back. If you are bringing a partner I will need to know both your names. Also your email address, so I can send your booking confirmation, and later the details of the parking arrangements. At the same time, if you wish to book a place for the pub lunch afterwards please ask. Places at the pub are limited so it’s best to make an early booking.
