Walk details : In a change to the scheduled walk, and at short notice, this week’s walk begins and ends at Gawsworth Hall in Cheshire. 

Leaders : Cliff and Colin

We begin our walk by passing Gawsworth Hall and then continue though farm land and country lanes until we reach the Macclesfield Canal. We then walk along the canal where we will take our lunch break before continuing along country lanes edged by woodland. We return to Gawsworth via farm land. 

It is a fairly flat walk, and given the weather we’ve been having, it’s likely to be firm underfoot.

There are no pubs or tea shops on the route so please bring something to eat and drink for the lunch stop. We will be going to the Harrington Arms at the end of the walk. 

The Harrington Arms is located on Church Lane. This is where the walk begins and there should be ample parking for all.

Start point and time : The meet-up time is 12:00 in Church Lane between the Church of St James the Great and The Harrington Arms. Parking is along Church Lane.

Directions to Gawsworth : Use the postcode SK11 9RJ if using a Sat Nav. Otherwise Take junction M60 Junction 3 for the A34 towards Cheadle & Wilmslow. Take  the Handforth Bypass at the end of which look for signs for A536 Congleton Road, Gawsworth.  When approaching the entrance to Gawsworth Hall, Church Lane is off to the right. Follow the road round, past the two large pools, until you come to a straight tree-lined road where we will meet up. This is just before the Harrington Arms pub.
