This village in Greater Manchester has some nice local parks and a canal to explore on foot.
This walk from the village takes you to two of the local highlights at the Chadkirk Country Estate and Etherow Country Park.
The walk starts from the train station and heads west to pick up the Peak Forest Canal. Follow the canal south and then east and it will take you to the Chadkirk Estate. Here you will find a 60 acre farm, an old orchard, a walled garden, peaceful woodland and a 16th century chapel with an audio visual presentation on the history of the site.
The route then picks up the Etherow Goyt Valley Way and follows it east to Redbrow Wood and Compstall where you can explore Etherow Country Park. Features here include trails along the River Etherow, bluebell woods and a lakeside footpath.
