Overview

Please contact the leader to join the walk, this helps the leader and provides your contact details in case of late change. If then you are unable to attend, please cancel with leader (phone or text) so they are not waiting for you. Thank you. 

We walk from Lyme View Marina (Poynton) northwards along the towpath with several interesting features along the way, as far as Bridge 13 where we turn east and walk up into Lyme Park, "affording splendid views west over the Cheshire Plain" (unless wet!).
No toilets at start but about half hour into walk can pitstop at Nelsons Pit visitor centre.
