Overview

A circular 10 mile walk starting from the historic Rams Head pub in Grappenhall, through woodland, alongside brooks and fields towards idyllic Walton Hall Gardens where we can eat lunch. We will then return via quiet roads, lanes and a picturesque Dingle to the start point where there will be an opportunity to take well earned refreshments.
