Overview

Mostly flat but with a short ascent in Fletcher Moss Gardens. Starting outside the library the walk will stop along the way to look at buildings of interest and learn about their association with people as diverse as Rik Mayall and Emily Williamson, a woman instrumental in the formation of the RSPB. We pick up part of the Green Trail at Didsbury Park before returning to the start.
