We are the Manchester and Salford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
SLOW WALK - 2 hours max. Hough End Woods and fields and Fallowfield Loop. This walk uses the newly resurfaced and widened Fallowfield Loop off-road cycling and walking path, it crosses Hough End fields and the edge of Hough End Clough. There is one very short (downhill) gradient and 14 shallow steps with a handrail.
There are no opportunities to buy refreshments and no toilets are available as this is a short slow walk. Stout shoes are advised as there are muddy sections. Nearest toilets are probably at Morrisons at the Chorlton Tram stop or by extending the walk by quarter of a mile to Hough End Leisure Centre.
Please advise the walk leader if bringing a dog. The walk is not easily wheelchair or pushchair accessible (it has some steps, uneven ground and crosses a field which is likely to be muddy).
