Note: walkers are advised to check one of the rail websites such as nationalrail or trainline close to the departure time in case of late changes to the running of the train.
Train ticket - both stations are within the Greater Manchester boundary so the best ticket will depend on concessions &/ other journeys made on the day.
Walk route - Walkden, New Manchester, Ellenbrook, Worsley Woods, Old Warke Dam, Bridgewater Canal, Broadoak Park, Walkden
Much of the walk is on old rail lines and a canal towpath so there is little climbing involved. Worsley Woods will hopefully offer some autumn colours.
