We are the Greater Manchester & High Peak Area Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Area short walk. Distances are generally 6-8 miles unless specified.
From Knutsford station the route takes us into Tatton Park via The Moor, Dury Lane, and the grand entrance gate. In the park the route is clockwise through a variety of woodland, taking in two meres or lakes, the new and old halls, the WW2 Airborne Forces memorial, hopefully sightings of the resident deer herd, and, weather permitting, far reaching hillside views.
Just short of 8 miles, this is a slightly undulating but mainly flat walk. It will be muddy in parts so gaiters and poles are advised. No toilets at Knutsford station.
No booking required, although we do ask that everyone carries an ICE card - we can supply if needed.
The walks will invariably involve ascent and descent, some of which may be steep. They will usually, depending on the weather, be soft and/or muddy, sometimes with ill defined tracks across fields or moorland - ensure you have appropriate footwear. Please consider your personal fitness and ability before attending the walk - if you're not sure, feel free to contact us for advice on the potential conditions, whilst the leader will base the walk on their own ability and may issue instructions where appropriate, you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Please wear appropriate clothing for the prevailing weather, plan for the worst and hope for the best, bring any essentials and lunch.
