Overview

Gerrie & Jeff are our walk leaders for this leisurely grade (D+) 8-mile walk in the Hawarden area. The walk takes us through the grounds of Hawarden Castle, up the old Warren, under the A55 before entering Silverwell Woods where we go up to the viewpoint overlooking Cheshire. We make our way back via quiet lanes and woods.
