We are the Manchester and Salford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Cracken Edge Quarries and Chinley Churn. The walk starts with a steady but not steep climb on tracks and field paths to Cracken Edge, then contours along under the Edge passing disused quarries as far as Higher Hills Cottage. We make a further short climb onto the ridge, then a gradual descent, passing behind the Chinley Churn trig point, and returning to Chinley via Throstle Bank and Hollin Wood.
Cafe in Chinley at end of walk.
Manchester Piccadilly Station, to catch the 9.48 train to Chinley. Note that due to a defective rail between Marple and New Mills Central, trains will be running non-stop between Manchester Piccadilly and Chinley.
Chinley Railway Station, Station Road. The walk will start after the 09.48 train from Manchester Piccadilly arrives. If walkers are intending to join at Chinley, please let the walk leader know in advance.
