Walk Description:

THIS MONTH - Join Miriam for a Circular Walk from Spud Wood Car Park, Lymm to Dunham Woodhouses. This walk is between 5 & 6 miles depending on the conditions on the day. Starting from Spud Wood, the route takes us along the Bridgewater canal towards Little Bollington where we head towards Dunham Woodhouses. We follow the Bollin Way through fields adjacent to the river - if the ground is too wet we will join the Trans Pennine trail after Dunham Woodhouses, the walk will be a little longer if this is the case but easier under foot. We return to Spud Wood via Oughtrightington and the canal.No toilet facilities during the walk but plenty of places for a 'wild stop'. The nearest facilities are at the lovely cafes in Lymm Village if you want to stop for a drink before the walk, or at Lymm Truck Stop services on the roundabout at the junction of the M6 & M56. As there is no lunch after this walk, please bring a hot drink & a snack with you. 

Meeting point: Spud Wood Car Park, Stage Lane, WA13 9JP - Leave the M56 at either junction 7 or 8 depending on which direction you are coming from. At the Bowden roundabout take the A56 Lymm Road. Turn right onto Warrington Road. Turn right onto the B5169 cross over the canal bridge then turn left into Stage Lane. The entrance to the recently enlarged & resurfaced car park is on the left hand side.
