We are the East Cheshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
STROLLER WALK
This is a very easy 4 mile flat walk with very few stiles.
We will meet by the lake on Redesmere Lane where there is plenty of free parking and plenty of ducks!
This is a very easy, entirely flat walk which includes a walk past Redesmere Sailing Club and Capesthorn Hall, one of the county’s most impressive stately homes. Legend has it that Redesmere used to have a floating island – a preposterous legend without a shred of truth in it and visitors looking for it will be disappointed. The lake was dug to provide a water supply to the ornamental lakes of Capesthorne Hall, the seat of the Bromley-Davenport family, built in the Tudor revival style with domes and turrets once thought architecturally desirable but today some feel it is ostentatious and overblown. It’s now run as an event centre for weddings and conferences and is occasionally open to the public.
The walk may be very muddy in places so suitable footwear is advisable, especially after heavy rain. We will progress at a very easy pace and we’ll stop for a coffee/drink/snack half way round so please bring one with you. I can offer a lift from Prestbury. My contact number is 07729327940 if you wish to contact me.
