Gawsworth Hall and North Rode

Saturday 13 October 6.5 miles
Hilary, Carol, Tracey, Jane

A cloudy grey day (atmospheric! as Carol put it). The cloud was so low that it was quite damp at times with a little rain in the air.

This is a fairly flat walk - typical of the Cheshire Plain. We passed an Elizabethan Hall, countryside, views of the Peak District in the distance, we followed part of a railway line and walked along a little of the Macclesfield Canal.

We had a snack at the canal lock as there was a green area where we could sit, before we joined the road again.

We went off the path and visited North Rode's Victorian Church, the church yard had some interesting grave stones and the cows in the field behind the church were cute. Had a snack on the steps of the church.

We passed some small lakes where people were fishing, a new area was being dug out so they were presumably making a new lake.

We went into the Harrington Arms for a cup of tea, it was a funny pub, they seemed to be in the process of doing it up, so the rooms had some work that needed doing to it.
