We are the Manchester and Salford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Alkrington woods is a triangular area bounded by Manchester Old Road, Manchester New Road and the M60. I would suggest the walk is not suitable for people who struggle walking as we are walking through a wood so there will be tree roots and undulations but it is very suitable as a slow walk.
We will see some of the work done by the Green volunteers, the river irk and a number of old mill lodges some of which are now fishing lakes or water bird reservations.
The walk will be under two hours long.
From outside the bus station in Middleton centre is where we start. There are toilets here in the shopping centre but none on the walk.
Middleton Bus station. Number 17 bus from Shudehill or 112 from Piccadilly
