We are the Manchester and Salford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
6 mile circular walk from Irlam Heritage Train Station. Flat terrain, a mixture of footpaths and minor roads, look out for traffic on the farm roads. The route goes through Cadishead allotments onto Chat Moss and New Moss Wood - there are ditches, uneven ground with tree roots, possible muddy in places, hopefully lots of birdsong!
From there we follow Moss Road, a quiet farm road up to where the peat bog is being reclaimed. After a Short break the route heads towards Twelve Yards Road, once an important route across Chat Moss
A right turn then follows Astley Road, another farm road, leading back to Irlam. Approaching the station the walk goes through Station Art Park with its Hobbit House and other features.
Toilets, refreshments and history at the station.
Booking is required for this walk. Please ensure you book onto the walk by emailing the walk leader.
The main object of our walks is fresh air, exercise and the sheer enjoyment of walking with good company. For more on what to expect please copy the web link below.
