We are the Cheshire Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The walk starts gently from Dovestones Reservoir cap park by walking along the shoreline and then includes a fun scramble up the side of Birchen Clough + waterfall, stopping for views of Saddleworth Moor from the iconic rocks known as the ‘Trinnacles’, three large rocks jutting out as part of the Raven Stones, that make for a great photo.
The walk continues along the edge, past Ashway Rocks, Great Dove Stone Rocks and all the way to Chew Reservoir. From here you then follow the edge along to Alphin Pike before descending down to Dovestone Reservoir, then back to the car park near Greenfield
The walk is about 12 miles with some tricky scrambling in parts.
