C Ray Webb ‘C’ WALK – LYMM A circular walk, an early stage of which includes part of the Trans-Pennine Trail that had previously carried the Warrington-Altrincham railway line, a line that closed to freight traffic in 1985. A little further on the walk passes through a couple of small, picturesque villages and skirts the western boundary wall of Dunham Massey Hall. The return leg is along the Bridgewater Canal (opened 1761), which is joined close to a stretch of the canal that collapsed at the beginning of this year. Although a little longer than usual for a ‘C’ walk, there will be very little ascent. Leader: Ray Webb; Distance: 8 miles; Ascent: 120 feet
