Overview

One of our series of Slow Walks - This walk explores the Mersey Vale Nature Park and nearby green areas. It is just over 2 miles long and will be taken at a slow pace with several chances to stop at benches. It is almost entirely on footpaths, most with good surfaces but some may be muddy. There are no stiles but there are some short flights of steps/ and gradual slopes (but total change in elevation is less that 100ft). It is expected to end by 1.30pm.
