Sunday Walk: Siddington and a Glimpse of Capesthorne
Overview
Join us on this mainly flat walk (with a few ascents thrown in for luck) taking in the pastureland and woodland surrounding the parish of Siddington situated halfway between Alderley Edge and Congleton. Starting from the car park at Redesmere Lake we take a big loop around passing through woodland and pasture land to pass Capesthorne Halls picturesque lake and get views of the hall itself. We then cross back to take in the far shores of the lake by Redesmere sailing club then off in to the country again before looping back to our starting point.
Facilities: There are no facilities until very close to the end of the walk (they may be open if we are lucky) so maybe not so many big mugs of tea/coffee at breakfast today!
