We skirt around Musden Low to Swinscoe and Common End Farm. Taking a left here we head to Blore Church and follow a lane past Blore Hall to take a path on the left to Coldwall Bridge, We then take the Manifold Trail back to Ilam.

Walkers from other groups are always welcome, as are non-members wanting to sample walking with our friendly group of ramblers. Just turn up and make yourself known to the walk leader.

Please make sure you have an ICE (in Case of Emergency) card on you when out walking – you know it makes sense - if you don’t have one then ask the walk leader for one before the walk starts.

On our walks, we regret no dogs please UNLESS the walk is described as DOG FRIENDLY.
