We are the Manchester Coach Rambles Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Guided Ramblers walk in the beautiful countryside around the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale located in Cumbria between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. The cost of £15.00 includes return travel from Central Manchester and a choice of 3 led walks of different lengths. You must book and pay for your ticket in advance but you can decide how far you want to walk when you get on the coach.
The coach leaves Chorlton Street at 8.50 am prompt, picking up in Sedgeley Park at 09.10 and Prestwich at 09.15. Toilet stop at Lancaster Services (NB: Timings for pick-up points are approximate - please be at the pick-up point at least 5 mins early)
