10/12 – Dunham Massey Short Loop

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine etc… it’s almost Christmas, it’s probably cold, a nice short walk near Dunham Massey is what’s required. We’ll park in a car park on the outskirts of Altrincham, connected to the Trans Pennine Trail. The route begins through the fields but then diverts back onto the long and straight TPT. Taking a left we’ll join the road and go passed a couple of public houses, peering into the windows. After veering off down a lane we’ll pass through some fields and appear in Little Bollington, right next to Dunham Massey. Whilst in Dunham Massey we might as well have a little wander before winding towards the Axe and Cleaver. We’ll finish the day with the 30 min walk back to the cars along the canal.
