Overview

From the car park we will walk through the woods, passing the Armada Beacon and views of The Edge to exit at Squirrels Jump where we will walk down past the villas joining Mottram Road, then Trafford Road, crossing London Road to follow short footpath into the park where we will stop for refreshments.  We walk through the park and exit into Chorley Hall Lane, onto Blackshaw Lane , across fields to the only stile on the walk which is Very HIGH, after climbing the stile we go over the railway line by a footbridge.  We then follow through to Welsh Row cross Congleton Road to go up Bradford Lane, Hoker Lane turning into Haymans Farm and Finlow HIll back to the start.
