Circular Walk Round Harrop Farms in Rainow

This walk visits all three Harrop Farms in Rainow. It's a moderate walk with steady, moderate ascents. The walk may be muddy and wet in places due to wet ground and undergrowth. 

From Smithy Lane we walk to Sugar Lane and on to Hough Hall Farm where we make a short ascent before descending through the woods to Waulkmill Farm. From there we walk along Ingersley Vale and on to Savio House, Oakenbank and Hedgerow. We follow Hedgerow to the lower path through Harrop Wood and on to Further Harrop Farm before crossing Black Brook where we climb a steady ascent towards Macclesfield Road. The farm lane takes us down to Harrop Fold Farm where we’ll take a gentle ascent back up through fields to the Macclesfield Road before cutting back down through fields towards Clarkes House and Smithy Lane.  Please bring a drink/snack for a ‘coffee stop’. Please contact Maggie 07729327940 for further details. I can offer a lift for three people from Prestbury.
