Overview

Approx  8 mile walk from Disley station ref SJ 973 845.
1225 feet of ascent per OS maps.
Lots of up and down. Some moorland walking so likely to be boggy.  Some fabulous views depending on the weather.

Coffee break snack and packed lunch needed.
We don’t go near the house in Lyme Park so there is nowhere to buy snacks and we don’t pass toilets.

Route
Meet Disley Station CP.  There is a little bit of free parking here but make sure you are in the right spot to avoid a fine.  Alternatively approaching from Stockport direction, sharp left at the lights in the centre of Disley and go up the hill and park off to the right.

Disley station
Parkgate
