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. Some walks will now be on Saturdays; see ‘Future Walks’ – down below for the details.
This is an excellent and popular circular river and countryside walk. All of the paths are broad and firm making it a good all year round walk; although in winter the towpath can get a bit muddy and the first section from Hartford Bridge to the locks is a bit bumpy. The first parts through the countryside are best in summer when the trees are in leaf, flowers are out, and there are lambs with the sheep in the meadows; but all of the paths are enclosed so dogs can’t worry them. The good news is there are no stiles, narrow bridges or latched gates and it’s easy walking. The longest part of this walk is along the wooded river bank towpath which you may have to share with cyclists and joggers. The only hill is up from the river back to the village.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments.
