We are the Wigan and District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
There will be two walks on this coach ramble !
Walk one will be led by Ian and Sue which will commence in the town of Macclesfield & will be a 7.5 mile, steady climb up to Teggs nose country park which hopefully on a clear day should give us spectacular views of the Cheshire countryside and beyond. There are four stiles to navigate on this walk followed by a steep descent, It is advisable to use walking poles especially on the return !
Walk two will be led By Phil and Denise and will be a five mile walk through the Teggs nose park and should also have excellent views providing the fine weather gods are with us !

Tegg’s Nose Country Park is located close to Macclesfield in Cheshire on the western edge of the Peak District National Park, and is owned and managed by Cheshire County Council. It is a popular area for walking and attracts visitors from the local area and beyond who come to the park to enjoy the stunning views of the park and across the Cheshire plain, as well as learn more about the history of the area. Cycling and horse riding are also popular in the area, along with fishing, rock climbing and in winter conditions it is a favoured place for sledging with the exposed moorland hills often covered in snow, (see the activities page for more details about what there is to do in the area). There is evidence of activity in the area since the Bronze age, including a Burial Chamber and lots of examples of how the Country Park has been shaped by its past use for quarrying, from the 16th century to as recently as 1955. As a reminder of this past there are still examples of the equipment that was used to quarry the sandstone for visitors to see, including a jaw crusher used to crush the quarried rock into smaller pieces.
