Great views on this varied 9.5 miles/15.25kms walk with canals and high tracks. This is a moderate walk with 1271 feet/387m of ascent (OS app). There are a couple of steeper climbs and one fallen tree to get round (alternative route is possible).
From Sutton, we go past Sutton Reservoir to the canal and then up towards Croker Hill. From the Hill of Rossenclowes, we head down towards Langley, past Langley Hall and over to Macclesfield Golf Club before rejoining the canal going back towards Sutton.

This is a mixture of paths, tracks, lanes and towpaths. Some muddy stretches. Poles and gaiters advised. Bring lunch and snacks. No dogs due to livestock in fields.
