Do not walk if you are feeling unwell. Carry your own hand sanitiser. In case of an emergency ensure you have with you a face mask and first aid pack.
Inevitably, the route will go through gates and over stiles that other people will have touched. It may have narrow sections that mean you will be passing close to other people.
A circular walk starting from the Mouldsworth station opposite the Goshawk pub.
The route follows field paths and quiet lanes to Long Looms, crossing the railway line and on towards Manley passing close to some of the many stables in the area.
It is a relatively easy blue winter walk but maybe quite muddy in places with some slippery stiles which will require care to cross.
The landlord of the Goshawk has given permission for us to park in the pub carpark.
