Overview

One of our Slow Walks. We use the network of footpaths in Heaton Mersey, many are formed from old railways and are level, but there are some gradients (including short flights of steps - one up and one down with hand rail and a few other shallow steps on a tarmac surface).  There are some benches we can use along the way and we will stop by some picnic tables for a lunch stop at about 12.30pm. There are no toilets on the route.
