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.
The walk starts in Oscroft following a footpath along the golf course to Duddon Common then through farm land up to Willington Corner where we join the Sandstone Trail up to Primrose wood, then across fields to Eddisbury Hill fort and on to Pale Heights. The walk then follows the forest trails down to Kings Gate, then a short section on roads through Kelsall to join the footpath at The Commons and cross the fields back to Oscroft.
