This is an Easy walk suitable for beginners but there will be some mud so good footwear necessary.
We will pass by Heaton Hall, The Temple (with great views of the city centre) and Heaton Park Farm.
the route is easy going on hard paths through parkland but there is a short stretch through woodland which will be slippery and a a few areas which can be very wet and boggy.
