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, and perhaps for lunch, as soon as you are confident you will be available.

This circular walk will take you along excellent paths all the way, starting along the bank of the Manchester ship canal then along other tracks and footpaths to the return route.   This is along the Bridgewater Canal towpath and is known as The Cheshire Ring Canal Walk.  It is followed by a footpath back to the pub across a playing field which has a children’s playground nearby.   There is very little road to walk along and very little housing to pass.   There are no fields to cross which contain animals, and most of the paths are enclosed.   There are no stiles to climb, only one fence to step over, and no other obstacles.   Although the route is mostly quite flat the scenery is very pleasant and rural, and even the Thelwall Viaduct is not as intrusive as you might expect.

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.

[The photo shows the famous Thelwall Viaduct over the ship canal, instead of driving over it, you’ll be walking under it on this walk.]
