Oswestry Ramblers welcome people who enjoy walking and the countryside. We walk twice a week mainly in Shropshire and Wales and help improve local footpaths.
Using The Sandstone Trail and connecting paths to circuit the Peckforton Hills towards Beeston Castle. Views over the Cheshire Plain and often in woodland but shorter sections on tarmac lanes.
The paths on this walk are now excessively muddy and puddled including and especially The Sandstone Trail. Gaiters and a walking pole(s) would be useful. There is an initial steady climb onto Bulkley Hill and later a steep, now muddy, but mercifully short climb through the Peckforton Estate. There is some walking on tarmac lanes which relieves the constant dodging of mud.
The walk leader will go direct to the start of the walk and will meet you there. It would be helpful if anyone meeting at Gatacre could text the walk leader a day or so before to let him know there will be a group leaving from there.
Gatacre Playing Fields car park.
Park by side of road next to National Trust land at the junction of Stone House Lane and Mill Lane.
