Easy Countryside and Waterway Guided Walk ~ In Cheshire and Free.
The photo shows the old stables alongside Bunbury staircase locks.
This free guided walk is suitable for beginners, so if you’re keeping fit and well wish to come along and join us we would love to see guest visitors again. Please book your place as soon as you are confident you will be available.
This guided walk in the Bunbury countryside is circular and about four miles long, and the first part will take you gently downhill to the Shropshire Union canal at Tilston lock. We will then follow the towpath all the way to Calveley, passing the famous Bunbury staircase locks. The latter half of the walk is along footpaths which may be boggy in places and not often used; across the countryside to the working Bunbury Water Mill on the river Gowy, then back to the village pub for lunch. All the gates and stiles are in good order but dogs may need lifting over some of the stiles.
There will be a ten minute break half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments and this guided walk in the Bunbury countryside will finish with an optional pub lunch.
