Overview

This is a leisurely walk with only a few gentle inclines, but that offers wide-ranging views over Hollingworth Lake and Greater Manchester. Varied terrain takes us through open land, pretty wooded areas, an animal sanctuary, touches of local heritage and we finish along the canal towpath - something for all tastes.
