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

A circuit of part of the Lyme Park estate and adjacent moorland, starting from the Nelson Pit bottom car park.
Also accessible by bus from Stockport.
Some mud and possible waterlogged areas, but attractive countryside, woods, and views. The imposing main house in Lyme Park was used as Pemberley in BBC TV's 1995 'Pride and Prejudice' series.
Route: Haresteads Farm, Timberyard Cafe near Lyme Park house (GR 962826), Parkgate, (GR 964842), steady climb up to the Cage, steep climb past Lantern Wood, across moorland to Bowstonegate, across Park Moor to Moorside, West Parkgate, Green Farm, and back to Nelson Pit.
Toilets at Nelson Pit and the Timberyard Cafe.
You do not need to book to go on this walk. Just turn up and make yourself known to the walk leader. Walkers from other groups are always welcome, as are non-members wanting to sample walking with our friendly group of ramblers.
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.
Nelson Pit car park, Higher Poynton (£4 charge: exact change, card, or RingGo). Some roadside parking nearby, in Shrigley Road.
