Overview

A walk with a difference! We will walk from Styal through fields towards Manchester Airport. We will walk up the footpath which takes us directly alongside the runway. Plane spotters amongst you have your flight radar app ready! After a lunch with a runway view we will walk up Styal valley alongside the River Bollin towards Quarry Bank Mill. National Trust members bring your card! We will have some time to  explore Styal village and the grounds of the Mill before returning back to the car.

Walk start point: the Carrs car park. SK9 4HW. Exit the M56 at Manchester airport. Follow signs for Styal and Quarry Bank Mill.Continue past the entrance to the mill and in a short while you  will turn to  the Carrs Car park on your right.

Car sharing would be sensible as this car park gets busy

Ramblers members please remember to show your membership card or Phone Ap. (Otherwise, if not a Ramblers member please book a place via Hike on Lancashire on Meetup - suggested donation of £2)
