Walk description
Starting from Errwood Hall car park, opposite Errwood Reservoir, this short walk is probably the easiest in this series, but includes one of the most scenic spots in the valley, as it slopes down to meet the River Goyt, which is a tranquil stream at this point.
The riverside path is a solid track making it ideal for pushchairs or wheelchairs. And there’s a small layby along the lane- just beyond the gate – to park if you need to get closer to this section of the walk.
There are some great paces for picnics, alongside the Goyt. The walk then continues to the historic packhorse bridge, just a short distance further, returning along the narrow lane.
