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.
The first part of this 4½ mile circular walk is along well-trodden paths and very pleasant indeed. As you reach the main feature of this walk – the canal towpath, you will see the famous Bunbury staircase locks on your left by the bridge. If you have one take a walking stick as we may meet cows to fend off, and in winter several sections may be quite boggy. There are a couple of fields to walk straight over and careful navigation will be needed; however, most of the many stiles are in good order. Apart from the short steep climb up Tilston Bank most of the route is fairly flat.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments.
