We are the Wirral Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A walk showing off the delights of the River Greta. From the centre of Keswick, we head to the riverside and then cross a footbridge. Proceeding along a footpath we reach a road. Further, a railway bridge is visible. Ascending steps we reach the Keswick to Threlkeld railway path, built on the site of an abandoned railway. This broad and almost level path gives views of the river from above as well as of the surrounding countryside. When a gate is visible to the left, we ascend to a nearby hamlet, before descending near woodland above the river. By the woods we loop back, using the railway path to return to Keswick. Gradual ascent from Keswick and descent on return. At the end of the railway path we will come to a road that leads directly into the centre of Keswick, at the end of this circular walk. The estimated end time of the walk will be 1530. There will be ample time after the end of the walk to explore Keswick.
This will be a Wirral Ramblers group Sunday walk, travelling by coach from the Wirral. To book a place on the coach follow the website link given. The initial meeting point will the be the Arrowe Park Toby Carvery car park (see details below) for coach departure at 0830. Although an easy walk, all walkers should wear suitable, clean, walking boots or shoes (to be worn on the coach) and come with waterproof clothing, a packed lunch and a drink. The coach will park in Booth's supermarket car park in Keswick, from which most walks will start (more information will be available on the journey to Keswick). On this walk we will head to a cafe first, because the short walk will allow time before the start of the walk. The coach will leave from the same place it arrived at 1800 to return to the Wirral. All walkers should bring alternative footwear to wear on the coach during the return journey, in case some parts of the route are muddy. The end time given is the expected return time of the coach at the initial meeting point.
Car park at Toby Carvery, Arrowe Park, Wirral (adjacent to Arrowe Park Golf Course).
Coach will park in Booth's supermarket car park in Keswick. All walkers will disembark and on this walk proceed to a cafe.
