Overview

A circular walk around West Didsbury, the River Mersey and local green spaces. Initial tree-lined road walking takes us to the Mersey, we follow the river diverting in to local parks and reaching Chorlton Water Park (toilets and lunch-break) before the final mile which takes us through the Green Flag award-winning Southern Cemetery. The walk is mostly level, one easy stile, a few steps with handrail and some slopes. Varied surfaces including stony and sandy - stout shoes recommended.
