Overview

A 5 mile circular walk starting from Honey Bee Pub Car Park, Altrincham Road, Wilmslow, SK9 4LT.  

After leaving the Honey Bee Car Park we will enter Styal Country Park near the Airport Inn.  Our route will follow the River Bollin through the woods crossing Giant's Castle, Oxbow and Kingfisher Bridges before reaching Styal Village and Quarry Bank Mill.  From there we will take a woodland path through Southern Woods to Twinnies bridge and then following field paths and quiet lanes we will arrive back at the Honey Bee in time for an optional pub lunch.

Several flights of steps make up the main ascent and descent on this walk.
