Overview

This is a walk that avoids almost all fields and stiles, and should be (almost) mud free.

We will meet at Stock at the Pavilion Cafe at Congleton Park; there are toilet facilities adjoining. We will walk across the Park, and then to the start of Biddulph Valley Way.

We follow the Way to Brookhouse and then walk on very quiet farm track / road to Timbersbrook. From there we ascend to the Cloud (we can avoid the steep flight of steps if preferred).

From the Cloud we descend through Cloud Side and the Plantation, then return to Congleton.

Please advise walk leader if going directly to the walk start.
