Description
A fairly easy seven mile circular walk from Moses Gate Country Park, Hall Lane, Farnworth, along the historic Manchester/Bolton/Bury canal and the River Irwell. The canal is being partially restored by volunteers. The walk encompasses pleasant woodland and great views over open countryside.
Please bring a packed lunch as we shall stop at a point where we cross the Irwell.
We shall pass towards the end of the walk the Horseshoe Pub at Ringley where we can stop for a drink.
Walking boots are recommended as the going can be muddy.
Start Point and Time
We start the walk from the car park at Moses Gate (BL4 3DN) which is free of charge. We shall meet at the bottom of the car park at 12 noon.
