Overview

The route takes us past the gravel pits to Stubby Lane and onto Heawood Hall, we will stop for coffee at Nether Alderley Church. Continuing onto Alderley Park and up to The Wizard for a lunch break with toilets available. The route back to Wilmslow follows the North Cheshire Way.

There will be mud in places, a broken bridge makes crossing a brook slightly tricky.

Please bring drinks, lunch and your ICE card.
