Our annual bluebell walk. There are ups and downs throughout the walk typical of woodland paths - 577ft total ascent (=half the ascent of Eyam walk on 15 April), and one stile. There are several breakoff points.
NOTE: Change of timings, public transport to, and starting point of walk (no longer tram to Leighton View due to possible disruption of service).
Catch Bus no. 51 from Charter Row/Moorhead MH4 (back of former Debenhams) at 9:34. The walk starts at 10:00 from Charnock Hall Road/Olive Crescent stop.
We'll walk across to Lightwood, then Newfield Spring Wood, Long Wood and Coalpit Wood. The route then skirts the Jordanthorpe estate over to Norton and into Graves Park. We continue through Cobnar and Bolehill Woods down to Woodseats, where the walk finishes, and there are buses into town. (Click on the small map icon to see a map of the route).
Please contact the leader in advance if you have not walked with the group before.
No dogs.
