Sunday Walk: Mobberley, The Airport + The Bollin Valley
Overview
Today’s walk see’s us starting from Ashley village and working our way through the Cheshire countryside from Ashley, through Mobberley and the bottom end of Runway 2 at Manchester airport before making our way back to Ashley on this circular route.
This is a fairly flat walk and has the bonus of a little bit of plane spotting as we pass and take a stop towards the bottom of the runways.
