A varied 9 mile walk taking in hills, woodland and reservoirs. The Witton Weavers Way is a good path and we will make use of this along our route - but mud is inevitable!
We will see the lovely heron sculpture as we walk alongside Turton and Entwistle reservoirs. Also we will pass the ornate railway bridge as we pass Turton Towers.
Everyone is welcome to join us for a drink after the walk.
