Sunday 3 May 7 mile walk Grappenhall

GRAPPENHALL Short Walk, approx. 6.75 miles Grade E/F ( 329 feet of overall ascent)
The walk starts by Grappenhall Heys Walled Garde. It is a mainly flat walk with a mixture of good tracks followed by paths through woodland, and a few upward steps towards the end. We will finish back at the Walled Gardens. There is a short stretch of road walking where we will need to walk in single file. The latter half of the walk is very pretty, passing through woodland with lots of bluebells. There will be the usual coffee and lunch stops.
