Overview

We'll start and finish the walk at Didsbury Village tram stop, passing through Didsbury Park, then to Fletcher Moss  Park, taking a circular route, walking along the banks of the River Mersey and back towards Parsonage Gardens. The terrain is flat with good paths although they can be muddy in parts and we do have to walk on non slip wooden decking for a short distance.

There is a toilet near the entrance to Fletcher Moss and toilets at Parsonage Gardens where there are benches to sit and eat lunch before heading back to the Metro stop.
