Why not have lunch or a coffee in ‘Home’s’ beautiful

garden?

WOMEN’S WALK

Our next outing will be on July 22, starting at 9.15 in the church car park. We will take the cars to Broadbottom and park at Lymefield Visitor Centre, SK14 6AG, and from there walk along the river Etherow and then gently up through woods to reach the cenotaph at Werneth Low. After our packed lunch we will descend through more woodland back to Lymefield, where we can stop for tea if we want. Please contact me to say if you are coming, annhillier@uwclub.net, 0161 445 4263.
