WE asked and you decided.
May is national walking month and we wanted to know where in Warrington we should go for a walk.
Whether it’s a short but picturesque wander, a leisurely stroll or something a little more strenuous, here are Warrington’s top five walks with photographs from members of Warrington Guardian Camera Club.
Sankey Valley Park
Sankey Valley Park was a popular choice with one happy hiker suggesting starting near Dallam and walking towards Bewsey to take in the “beautiful meadows, ancient woods and picnic spots”.
Risley Moss
Risley Moss near Birchwood features in our top five with plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and take in the beauty of nature.
You can explore the pathways through woodlands and meadows with most footpaths accessible for prams and wheelchairs.
Walton Gardens
Walton Gardens is steeped in local history as the former home of Lord and Lady Daresbury.
Walk around the many footpaths and visit the children’s zoo or meander through the woodlands and orchards.
Lymm Dam
Lymm Dam is “a great place to go for a walk in any season” although it can get boggy during the winter months so wellies are a must.
According to one review on Tripadvisor, “Lymm Dam has tranquil scenery that make it a wonderful walk without too much gradient for the older person.
“It’s a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.”
Moore Nature Reserve
Moore Nature Reserve is almost 200 acres of woodland, meadows, lakes and ponds and is home to diverse species of plants, animals, birds and other wildlife making it a popular destination in Warrington for a walk whatever the weather.
