We are the East Cheshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
6 miles - easy, one stile, mostly tracks and some footpaths.
Route - We walk along the old trackbed of the Macclesfield to Leek railway to the dam at the end of Rudyard Lake. There are toilets and a cafe where we can stop after crossing the dam. Or bring your own refreshments if you wish. Then we walk back through woodlands, across fields and over a lake feeder stream. Here you might spot willow tits. We rejoin the trackbed and return to the car park/ Knot Inn.
Some paths can be muddy after rain and a stick could help over some uneven patches.
PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE ON THE DAY FOR ANY CHANGES TO THE WALK. NB Finish times are intended as a guide only. You do not need to book a place on this walk. Ramblers Association recommends that all walkers carry ICE (in case of emergency) information
Staffordshire Way car park, Rushton Spencer - or The Knot Inn car park if you intend to use the pub. It is open on Tuesdays.
