The early part of this walk includes a steep ascent through woodland up Frodsham Hill, but there are excellent views from the War Memorial at the top. Because of this ascent, a reasonable degree of fitness is required. Much of the rest of the walk crosses farmland. There are a few stiles and there is likely to be a boggy patch near the River Weaver.
