The Route

I have yet to attempt this route. It is my plan to do it at some point. It is here for anyone to find should someone be looking for a long walk.

Getting to the start

Reachable by train

Train

Served by Manchester Piccadilly, Reddish Vale County Park is only 20 minutes from the centre. Be careful to note, though, that the closest station is Brinnington (BNT). This station is surrounded by the Park, and you can walk in almost any direction and end up in the middle of it.

Reachable by bus

Bus

Several bus routes reach Reddish Vale. From the centre, the 203 runs from Piccadilly. It leaves you a 15-minute walk from most of the walks in the area.

Reachable by car

Car

Driving there is, one of the easiest ways. The visitor centre at Mill Lane has a car park. This is the main one. There are two others, one on Tiviot Way and one off Woodhall Drive.
