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.
This circular walk is along footpaths which are not often used but quite easy to follow. Although the scenery is varied and interesting, there are no spectacular views or any grotty spots. I wonder if the herd of highland cattle will still be the field? There are only short distances along lanes as most of the route is along narrow footpaths, and the return route is a long length of canal towpath. As the path will take us through two house gardens you may find the residents happy to chat. The stiles are in good order but may be quite slippery if wet, and the long bridge over a wide brook looks almost new.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments.
