Walk Description:

Join us for a longer walk around Delph and the Castleshaw Valley. The walk will be mainly along quiet lanes as the fields and footpaths get very wet and muddy at this time of year. We will head out of Delph towards Denshaw, with a detour to Heights Church if the route across the field is dry enough. We then circle round the hill for some fabulous views over New Years Bridge and Dowry reservoirs, before descending into Castleshaw Valley and either following the footpath along the valley floor or winding our way back along quiet lanes into the village.

We will be stopping for lunch at The Garage after the walk.
