Overview

From the start point we walk south on field paths towards North Rode Manor before joining the Macclesfield Canal at Lock 1 of the Bosley flight of locks. The canal towpath takes us north to Danes Moss Nature Reserve. We then follow lanes and tracks to pass Gawsworth Hall and then back to the cars. We will be walking on field paths, canal towpath, lanes and tracks. There may be some mud after heavy rain. The walk will be taken at a pace to suit the group. Post-walk refreshments at the Harrington Arms (close to the start). Total cumulative ascent 330 ft. Tel 07843177858. Assistance dogs only. Full Day. Bring lunch and adequate liquids.
