Overview

Walking from Orrell Water Park we will walk along quiet streets and then field paths through pleasant countryside until we climb up to Billinge Hill where weather permitting we should get a glimpse of Liverpool and the Welsh Hills. We return through the woods and walk back through the Water Park.
