From the car park we walk E through Peckforton Hills, then descend into the village where we can see the iconic Peckforton Estate cottages. We pick up the path going NW over Peckforton Mosses towards Beeston Moss. This path is particularly interesting. I saw lots of butterflies, wildflowers, a kestrel and hundreds of swallows swooping for insects in the rough grass. We then head NW towards Willis’s Wood. At this point here are great views of both Beeston and Peckforton Castles.
When we reach Stone House Lane, we turn left to join the Sandstone Trail and gently ascend back to Burwardsley for a well-deserved lunch.
If you would like to stay for refreshments after the walk or if you would just like to join us at The Pheasant could you let me know by Thursday 27th August please.
NB. A £10 non-refundable deposit is required at The Pheasant. I will pay the deposits on Friday 28th August. You can repay me on the day.
