D Walk - Tatton Park
2026-07-26 10:00
Sunday D Walk 26th July Tatton Park 5 easy miles

Meetingat Tatton Street Carpark at 10 am to start walking at 10.15 am. We enter the park through the Knutsford Drive gate, walk alongside Tatton Mere, curve round toTatton Hall to use the toilets at the Stables and then return walking alongside the garden to the monument with Melchette Mere on our left. There will be coffey and lunch breaks.

Route to Tatton Street Carpark (WA16 6AG)

I tried the Google Maps sat nav and found it took longer and was more circuitous than my normal route so here is my route from Stockport taking the M60 and then the M56 towards Warrington and turning off at Dunham/Lymn to go to Lymn.

Follow the Lymn road until you come to traffic lights where you turn left.

Follow that road to the end where you turn left onto the A50 for Knutsford. Continue on the A50 until you reach the outskirts of Knutsford (large houses with gardens then smaller houses) and look for a large high signboard on the left for Knutsford Football Club and shortly past there is Garden Road where you turn left, Be careful because cars are parked on one side so only one vehicle can drive through at a time but the road is short and at the end you turn into Tatton Street. The car park charges are reasonable at £2.40 for up to 4 hours. Payment is by card.

C Walk - Rudyard Lake
2026-07-30 10:00
RUDYARD LAKE. Seven miles easy walking on firm tracks around the lake and across fields. Mostly flat, with a few easy slopes. Toilets are available at the first coffee stop.

The distance from Brabyns is about 22 miles, and the driving time is about 45 minutes.

From Brabyns drive to Hazel Grove, and turn left onto the A523 towards Macclesfield.

Drive through Macclesfield and continue on the A523 towards Leek.

After about a further 8 miles you will come to Rushton.

You will see a sign for J Hallam Landrovers on your left.

Take the next turn on your right onto Station Lane. There is a signpost to The Knott Inn.

After a few hundred yards you will see The Knott Inn (SK11 0QU) on your left.

Take the first track immediately after the pub on your left. The car park is on your right. I will meet you there.

Please meet at 10am to start walking at 10.15.

After walk drinks at The Knott Inn.
I have been asked to make you aware of a problem regarding the directions to this walk if you are coming from Marple, which suggest following the A523 from the Rising Sun in Hazel Grove.
The problem is that there are signs that the A523 is closed from the 27th July (today) until the end of August between the HG park-and-ride to the A555 (ie the Rising Sun to the Fiveways) – although it was still open on Monday morning.
The obvious answer is to drive from Marple to Hawk Green, then to High Lane, turn right on to the A6 at the Horseshoe, and then drive down to the A555, and on to Macclesfield as signed with a left turn on the new bypass after a couple of miles.
Just be aware that the A6 tends to be very busy in High Lane in the mornings so please allow time.

C Walk - Ashford in the Water
2026-08-09 10:00
Start point : Monsal Head Hotel DE45 1NL.

Parking (free) on roadside and Pay and Display in large car park behind the hotel.

Start time: 10am

This is a moderate walk of 7.5 miles.

I have previously led this walk from Ashford in the Water, but have decided to start from Monsal Head as most people are familiar with this as a start point. Otherwise the walk is exactly the same.

The path down from Monsal Head was very dry when I did the recce. (This is the path which leads to the Weir. Those of you who have done Lesley P’s Monsal Head walk will be familiar with this path). Just a warning that you may need sticks for this part as there are some steep downward areas which had become a little trickier with all the dry weather.

Whilst on this occasion the village of Ashford in the Water will not be our start/ finish point, when passing through, we will take advantage of the fact that there is a lovely cafe there which sells excellent cakes and ice cream. We will therefore spend approximately 20 minutes in the village, to enable anyone who wants to, to make some purchases (and support the local economy!)
