Our next walking will be on
Saturday 8th November
and will be from
Burwardsley, Cheshire
the home of the Candle Factory | ||
| Albert leading the way along the Sandstone Trail |
Cheshires sandstone edge strikes
down the heart of the county like a clenched fist. Great knuckles of
rock and steep, wooded slopes rise steeply from the lush pastures of the
Cheshire Plain. Here you follow a glorious section of the Sandstone
trail, passing the ramparts of Iron Age Maidon Castle. This hillfort
crowns Larkton Hill. Raw Head is the highest point and gives vast views
that take in part of Wales and seven English counties.
Burwardsley is a small village known for the Candle Factory which has been operating there for some 50 years. It is alsoclose to the Sandstone Trail as it passes over the sandstone hills of Peckforton and Bickerton, raising us over the Cheshire plains and hopefully giving us drier walking for this time of year.

Beeston Castle and Bunbury are nearby and the Cheshire Workshops provide interest and refreshments for after our walks.
We will be in 'winter time' which means it could be getting dark by 4pm and the cafe in the Workshops could close a bit earlier.
There will be three walks;
- A Walk led by; Stuart Smith
- B Walk led by; Clair McNabb
- C Walk led by; Joan and Shirley
