Overview

The walk starts at the CP following the stream on the left up to a short,steep lane as we head across country to Robin Hill.From there it's up onto Wicken Stones on the Moor,passing a prominent communication tower, down to Rock End.We then drop down into Knypersley Park and join a reservoir path for about a mile before we climb out of the Park up to Knypersley itself where we join a disused railway line, for 2 miles, for the final leg of the journey back to the CP. Only a few stiles and paths are mostly in good condition, though muddy in some sections, so gaiters advised with leather boots.
