3rd March 2026 Tuesday walk

Today's walk started at the station concourse and headed towards Ealees valley and Hollingworth lake, accessing the footpath to Queens Cottage and traveling on to Peanock farm.

Moving southwards to Bib Knowl and Annis Hill farm, we then took Deep Lane past Heights Barn farm and stopped at the Ancient Oak Tree before passing through the Veteran Holly Tunnel before crossing Longden End brook and reaching Rakewood road.

Here we turned north west to pass the old Lodge inn and the site of the old toll gate, before returning through Ealees valley to the station start point.
