This hike is about 11km (7 miles) with approximately 300m of ascent. Most of the ascent is gradual, with only a few short steep sections. As the weather may be wet, paths and trails may be very muddy.

Join Ant and OutdoorLads for a festive wander connecting two of Greater Manchester's best country parks.  

Points of interest on the route:

Werneth Low Country Park: Established in 1980, the park gives great views of both Manchester and The Peak District, depending on which side of the park we're on. Located within the park is the Hyde war memorial, which was erected in 1921 to honour the local soldiers who died in the first world war.

Etherow Country Park: Opened in 1968, it is one of the oldest country parks in England, and is a mix of woodland and wetland. Located within the park is the impressive weir on The River Etherow and The Compstall Nature Reserve. The reserve is an SSSI that is home to over 200 plant species and 100 bird species, including several endangered species.

Other Information:

Dog Suitability

Dogs are always welcome on my walks, though their behaviour and safety is their owner's responsibility. This includes cleaning up after them, controlling their behaviour around other animals or people, and assisting them over any stiles or streams we may cross.
