A lovely circular walk, taking us through the greenbelt land in some of the outlying villages and suburbs of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. The walk will be undertaken at a steady pace. This route is mainly on good paths, although there are several of them that are uneven (undulating) and muddy in sections. and therefore appropriate footwear must be worn.
Christmas fancy dress is optional for this walk, but you are encouraged to wear something festive, e.g. a Santa hat/Christmas outfit, tinsel, holly etc.
