Overview

From Back Park Street Car Park we cross Mountbatten Way at the crossing, then enter Congleton Park via Park Road. From Congleton Park we cross the River Dane and then follow the Biddulph Valley Way (former railway line), the canal towpath, field paths, and Gosberryhole Lane to the summit of The Cloud, from which there should be extensive views over the Cheshire Plain if it is a clear day. We return by a slightly different route, with possible sightings of alpacas and wallabies.
