Walking in East Cheshire Guidebook

by: Steve Goodier
East Cheshire is an area of great contrasts, and for anyone who enjoys walking in the countryside it offers a mixture of high level moorland on the western fringes of the Peak District, as well as lowland walking on the Cheshire Plain. Walking in East Cheshire varies from gentle on the lower ground to challenging on the upper moorlands.

There are edges, ridges and windblown tops to explore, and when you contrast that with some of the lovely waters, canals and rivers to be found below them, you have a recipe for a very good time.

Each of the walks in the book begins with a side panel giving practical information. This includes a summary description of the walks features and character, distance and estimated time, plus instruction on how to reach the start. The detailed route finding instruction which follow are given in numbered paragraphs, and these numbers are shown on the accompanying sketch map to assist with easy navigation. There is also a summary table showing all the walks.
