Overview

This is a moderate walk of 9.25 miles with a short, steepish ascent to the canal towards the end.

Route - Mellor Golf Course, Brookbottom, Hague Bar, Peak Forest Canal, Goyt Way and Marple Locks back to the car park.

There is just one easy stile and there are lovely views, particularly on the first part of the walk.

No dogs, please.
