Lovely walk starting along the canal, it was interesting to see what activities go on along the canal like the little shop and boat filling station ⛴️Steep walk up Kerridge Hill but once you are at the top the views are spectacular.

lovely walk with variety of terraine canals and views, really enjoyed this walk. We went a bit wrong at the end, but hey ho, we saw things we wouldn't have seen had we taken the correct path. Lovely late lunch at the Bulls Head too.
