We are the Manchester and Salford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We will enter the park and the route passes the bowling greens, community orchard, apiary, reservoir and along the perimeter wall beside the motorway. Crossing over the main road brings us to the Irk Valley path which we follow past fishing ponds and into Alkrington woods with a lunch stop by the lake. Carrying on past the former Alkrington Hall then down through a wooded area onto the path up to Middleton bus station for journeys home.
The route will be on both paths and woods in Heaton Park, 10 minutes of road walking then onto the Irk Valley Trail up through Alkrington woods and into Middleton centre. There will be some uneven paths, tree roots, one stile to climb, possible mud if wet and a couple of slopes.
