Hi Kathyschofield8,

Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback! 🙌🏼
As you just walked this route, do you have any suggestion on how to add some details about the car park and directions please ?

I just contacted the author, who volunteers and kindly shared this walk to contribute so anyone can enjoy it. It would help and be really appreciated if you could also contribute by bringing your own insight to help us out. 😉
Visorando is a participative platform where walkers contribute by sharing their routes which is why you might not find any walk in some areas. 😀 So I look forward to reading some more from you in the Cheshire and the surrounding areas.

To be published, any author has to submit the route with a step-by-step description and it goes through a process. A team of moderators volunteers to read and edit each detailed description following editorial quality guidelines . before it is published. This walk has been created before the guidelines have been created. 😬

As you print the route, know that it is possible to personalise the document (including the map scale) before you printing it. When you are on the walk sheet click on "Action" → "Personnalise the PDF".

I hope it helps. If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact me through the forum or by message.
Enjoy yours walks! 🥾

(D/A) Start the walk on Sandle Bridge Lane and head towards Baguley Fold
and then to Pinfold Lane. Turn right at Pinfold Lane and then take the
footpath on the left before reaching Sandle Bridge Lane. Continue to
Chelford Road and turn right.
This would benefit from clear directions about where to park. the roads are very busy!
(1) Cross Chelford Road and after a very short walk take the footpath to
Moss Road. Cross Moss Road and continue straight ahead to School Lane
and turn right. There are some lovely old houses and cottages along this
lane. Take the footpath on your left at the fork in the road towards Ash
Farm, and then to Radbrook Hall. Continue on towards Stocks Lane and turn
right.
More clarity needed here many different footpaths unclear from the map !
(2) Just after the Whipping Stocks Inn on the left turn into a drive past a
gatehouse towards Ambrose Acre. Cross the bridge over the stream and
continue on to Peover Hall, turning left through the estate and then left Four
Lane Ends. Stop off at Peover Hall if you like and take a look at the Church.
Again to many paths in close proximity to each other more clarity needed please!
(3) Just before Four Lane End, take the path on the left to Stocks Lane and
then turn right and then left along a bridleway towards Newhall Farm. Turn
right after the farm and then right again towards Colshaw Hall.
(4) Pass the Hall and exit into Stocks Lane and turn left. After a few yards,
turn left down a drive and then immediately turn right along the path
through the gate, Continue on a pleasant route past Merrydale Farm on
your left.
(5) Just before entering Chelford Road turn sharp left through a farm and continue on towards the water tower. Turn right after the water tower and take the footpath, straight ahead, to Sandhole Farm.
Can you be more specific here too please!
(6) Turn right into Snelson Lane and then left at the junction and then immediately right along the footpath towards Chelford Road.
Cross Chelford Road and follow the footpath immediately ahead towards Sandle Bridge Lane and turn right. Follow the Lane turning left at the bridge to the start of the walk.(D/A

This is a lovely area and we saw many interesting points along the way but the walk was spoiled by frequent stops and starts to clarify the route despite having GPS. The map was difficult to follow as it was spread over 2 pages and the highlighted route obscured some of the detail. We are experienced walkers and would be willing to trial other routes or re walk this one and expand the detail. We can recommend the Park Gate pub for a delicious lunch and we did enjoy the scenery. We chose this route for its length which ended up as 11 miles, would love to see other longer routes in Cheshire and the surrounding areas.
