Easy Countryside and Waterway Guided Walk ~ In Cheshire and Free.
This free guided waterway 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 more guest visitors. Please book your place for the walk, and perhaps for lunch, as soon as you are confident you will be available.
To start off our new season of Guided Walks, this circular walk has delightful scenery for almost all of the route. It’s the walk that had to cancelled last December because of iced pavements. Most of the scenery is close to hand; first alongside of the canal then through the Dingle Woods and valleys and other nature reserves. There is only a little road walking and all of the paths are firm and mostly quite wide and well used. There are no stiles and only a few old wooden kissing gates. Only one or two easy slopes to climb and no fields to cross so you won’t see many farm animals and it should be fine for friendly dogs.
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.
