We are the Manchester and Salford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The walk passes Hopwood Hall, entering the woods where there is a small gradient to reach the bridleway, then we pass the edge of the wood to eventually cross the main A664 road to Stanycliffe and Boarshaw, returning via the Rochdale Canal towpath.
Not suitable for pushchairs. Dogs welcome can be off lead in woods and other parts if under close control. Some paths may be muddy .
Toilets may be available if the Ship pub at the end of the walk is open .
The main object of our walks is fresh air, exercise and the sheer enjoyment of walking with good company. For more on what to expect please follow the web link below.
