Overview

Rudyard Lake circular from Station Lane, Rushton Spencer. Please note the walk starts at the Knott Inn end of the Lake, from the small car park up a narrow lane to the right of the pub.

Please do not park in the pub car park unless you intend to have lunch there – you will need to let them know.

This is a very easy walk – some parts of the path may be muddy if we have a lot of rain.

We usually stop at the cafe half way round the lake for bacon sandwiches, coffee etc. We will allow a little more time than usual, which may mean we arrive back a little later than normal, depending on pace.
