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.
There is an excellent variety of scenery on this quite short circular walk. All the paths on this pleasant walk are in good condition and the route is quite flat, making the route more of an extended stroll. There are no stiles, and although some are quite old, all of the gates are in good order. The views are very pleasant and mostly quite rural, and you are likely to see more local dog walkers than hikers. You do see quite a lot of the river and as the last part is navigable you may even spot the odd boat.
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 3¾ 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.
