This circular parkland walking route starts and finishes in Disley which lies in the northeast corner of Cheshire, between the Cheshire Plains and the lower slopes of the Pennines and the Peak District.

We leave Disley station, enter Lyme Park and climb up towards The Cage, an iconic former hunting lodge which dates back to 1580. This lofty perspective affords tremendous panoramic views across South Manchester and back towards the city. We’ll then drop into the Park for quick refreshments and a toilet stop before heading further uphill along the Gritstone Trail to the highest point of the route, close to Bow Stones. Thereafter, it’s a gentle descent back towards Disley where we’ll head to The Ram’s Head next to the station for optional food and refreshments - click here to book for the Walk & Lunch.
