Walk Description:

Mellor Cross and Marple Ridge Circular Walk

No freedom passport needed to book on.

Come and join us on a scenic circular walk taking in great views as we go and learning a little bit about the history of the Mellor and Marple area.

Starting from Mellor and Townscliffe Clubhouse we'll make our way through woodland up to Mellor Cross with panoramic views over the Cheshire plain, after a slight detour we'll see a totally different landscape, before heading down to Brookbottom and joining The Midshires Way.

From Strines we'll head up towards the canal and head towards Disley, past an old bone mill and onto Marple Ridge, we'll then drop down to The River Goyt and join The Cown Edge Way and head back to the Clubhouse for refreshments.
