Walk Description:

 

Marple Bridge and Etherow Country Park

Special Event No freedom passport needed to book on.

Starting at  the site of Brabyns Hall, we'll head along the river crossing into Compstall and making our way to Etherow Country Park where we'll explore one of Britains first Country Parks which was established in 1968. We'll explore part of Ernocroft Wood which used to be open cast coal mines, and Keg pool which was part of a hunting estate, before making our return to Marple Bridge.

Distance approx 10km with a height gain of 260m

(There's a short route option too, starting at Etherow Country Park)

 

There's no need to worry about navigation, allowing you to take time to soak in the stunning views and enjoy great company.

Led by an experienced Nordic Walking Instructor who is Outdoor First Aid Trained and will support you along the way.
