C Walk - Fairholmes (Change from programme)
2026-08-13 10:00 (Europe/London)
Because the weather forecast for Thursday at Chatsworth in the afternoon is going to be 33 degrees, I have another walk I can lead which will be slightly cooler.

Meet at Fairholmes Visitor Centre at 10.00am for 10.15 am start.

This is a fairly flat walk around Ladybower Reservoir. We will walk to the dam and then around the reservoir to the bridge. Cross over the bridge and then the walk goes through a wood (which will be cooler as the temperature rises in the afternoon to 31 degrees!). And back to the visitor centre for an ice cream!

We meet at 10.15 for a 10.30 start. Meeting at the Hartington Arms, Congleton road, Gawsworth. SK119RJ

From your location, drive through Poynton to. Macclesfield on the A523 Silk Road. At the roundabout just passed Tesco, take the 3rd exit onto Macclesfield road. Follow untill the T- Junction with the flower pot on the right.
