Easy Countryside and Waterway Guided Walk ~ In Cheshire and Free.
The photo shows a man with his dog alongside the Hurleston locks flight. You will walk this path too.
This free and easy guided walk through the Barbridge countryside 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.
Starting from Barbridge, close to Nantwich; this circular walk will be about 3.75 miles long, sometimes along footpaths that are not often used, but most of the footpaths and tracks on this circular walk are in fair condition and the level route is easy to follow. The scenery is very rural, and there will be some fields to cross. The main feature is the flight of locks alongside the Hurleston reservoir, and an interesting place is the hamlet of Stoke Manor. Most of the fields contain crops so you won’t see many animals. There are a few stiles and kissing gates towards the end of the walk but although they are all in good order they are not all dog friendly
There will be a ten-minute break half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments and this guided walk in the Barbridge countryside and along canal towpaths will finish with an optional pub lunch or drinks in the lounge.
Access for all
