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

A circular walk from Longnor through river meadows, fields and moorland. Good distant views of surrounding hills including, to the north, the Dragon's Back ridge (Hollins Hill, Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill), and to the south, Ecton Hill and Wetton Hill.
The recce, on January 24th, was heavy going, because much of the route is low-lying, and was waterlogged and muddy after several days of rain. For this reason the walk is graded Strenuous. It might be closer to Moderate if it dries out.
There are a large number of stiles of various types. We counted 15, not including "squeeze stiles".
The Cheshire Cheese pub is near the start point. Some may want to drop in after the walk.
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.
Park either on the Market Square Longnor (where there are public toilets nearby, in Chapel Street), or roadside (for example in Church Street, north of the Market Square, near the church). We leave from the Market Square.
