Each route in this book is packed with fun things to see and do along
the way. There are birds to spot, ducks to feed, standing stones and
caves to investigate, ancient hillforts and ruins to conquer.
All of these walks pass the Kiddiwalks ‘S’ test:
SIMPLE – The routes are circular, with not too many hills to climbs. Some suitable for pushchairs
SHORT – The walks are all between 1 and 5 miles
STIMULATING - There is plenty to interest children
en route. Scramble up Crook Hill and see the breathtaking view from the
twin gritstone peaks; see the boulders at Dovestone Reservoir, said to
be the result of two giants fighting; look for wildlife and flowers
along the disused Hayfield railway line, now the Sett Valley Trail and
the Longdendale Trail; and visit the monument of the Duke of Wellington,
hero of Waterloo and inventor of the famous Wellington boot.
STOPS - Each walk features places for refreshment: from picnic sites to cafés and family-friendly pubs.
