Overview

A re-run of the walk planned for 29th November but the rain was heavy and we cut it short.

A 10 mile moderate walk from Bollington. We will walk up Harrop brook and on to Sponds and Bow Stones. We drop down into Lyme Park for lunch where there is seating, toilets and refreshments available. We will leave Lyme Park through Haze Bank Wood and head up onto Bakestonedale Moor and return to Bollington over Andrew’s Knob and the Gritstone Trail.

Refreshments available afterwards at the Poacher's Inn. 

If you have any questions about the walk please contact the walk leader Julia on Tel. 07836 671439.
