Manchester Airport to Styal Mill

This walk starts at the big roundabout on Altrincham Road just before the airport tunnels.

Sunbank Wood

Departure from Ringway (Greater Manchester)

This a pleasant little walk and sadly part of it is disappearing under concrete. Manchester Airport have developed on either side of Sunbank Lane. There was a petition to stop it but sadly it failed. There are some before and after pictures on the slideshow.

Castle Mill Lane to Kell House Farm

Departure from Ashley (Cheshire East)

Great walk from Castle Mill Lane to Kell House Farm.

Lindow Common to Rossmere

Departure from Wilmslow (Cheshire East)

Lindow Common is a very popular area and is well worth a visit in its own right. The common is crisscrossed by numerous footpaths and contains the Black Lake. It’s worthwhile exploring areas away from Black Lake where there are some small pools and expanses of heather. There is a lot of conservation work being carried out on the common which is designed to keep its open aspect and to protect wildlife and fauna. It is designated as a site of special scientific interest.

St Olaf's Chapel & Alleyways in Pownall Park

Departure from Wilmslow (Cheshire East)

This interesting walk through Pownall Park takes in Carnival Fields and St. Olaf's Chapel which was built by the Boddington Family. Sadly, it is now just a ruin. Some of this route follows public footpaths through the Pownall Park area which are now are pretty much back alleys through the area.

Stockport - a Ramble

Departure from Stockport (Greater Manchester)

This rewarding dérive reveals the B side of our heritage and culture, an antidote to the country walk, and one which for many folk is right on their doorstep. It explores the unique post-occupancy landscape of a Northern town where the rot has set in, viewing iconic heritage sights from the relative safety of the pavement.
