Walk Description:

A 9 mile loop exploring the Manifold Valley starting at Ilam Park National Trust. Along the way we will walk through Musden Wood, past the remains of Throwley Hall, over Weag's Bridge and return via Castern Hall. 

Taking around 4.5-5 hours to complete this walk, please bring drinks and snacks for along the way. We will be covering 1400ft/450m of elevation. 

There is the option to have a well deserved lunch after the walk at the NT tearoom. 

Paid parking at NT or free parking in the village where available. 

 

 

 

From one hour WALX in your local country park to a half day in the hills, our Explorer WALX capture the variety of scenery, themes and types of WALX that suit your lifestyle. If you love WALX to the pub or WALX with the dog or simply WALX in wild locations we have them all! Whether long, short, tough or gentle we welcome all ages and all levels.

Location Notes:

Ilam Park car park is free for National Trust members. Otherwise, the charge is £6 for up to 4hrs parking, £8 for over 4hrs.
