This hike leaves from the center of the village of Bollington, which is a charming little village on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The path passes through the fields and offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. We did the hike in mid-April and were lucky enough to see lamb babies who had just been born.

Here are the steps to do this hike:

  • Start from Ingersley Vale Street towards the exit of the village. Follow this road until you pass an old building. Then take the path on the left which goes towards the fields (pass the gate);
  • Continue straight through the fields, you must pass a farm on your left after a while. Continue on this path until you arrive on a stony road. Take right onto the path and continue for a while;
  • On your left you will see stone walls perpendicular to the path on which you are. After passing the third wall take left at the gate across the fields again. Continue until you reach a farm;
  • Arrived at the farm, cross it by the courtyard and take left on the road;
  • Follow this  concreted road for a moment, you will pass in front of many farms. Arrived at a junction turn right. And continue until another junction (you will have passed a farm on your left);
  • Arrived at the junction take left, then right and direct right towards a path through fields. Continue straight through the fields until reaching a river. Cross the river and the property and take the path that starts from the property;
  • From this path you will have a beautiful view of the village of Bollington. Continue for a while until arriving in front of a farm. Take the path on the left which bypasses the farm by the bottom left;
  • Continue for a good time through the fields until you arrive at another farm that you have to cross to join a concrete road. At the road turn left. Continue on the same road until you reach the village of Bollington.

  1. Hello Mélodie, je suis très curieuse, je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher d’aller jeter un oeil à ton blog après ton commentaire sur le miens 🙂 J’aime beaucoup tes articles, et celui-ci m’intéresse particulièrement : je suis allée faire de la rando dans le Peak District il ya quelques semaines, je voudrais y retourner, et je n’ai pas fait cet itinéraire que tu décris ! Tes bonnes adresses à Manchester m’intéressent aussi, j’aimerais aller découvrir cette ville bientôt. J’y ai passé une journée il y a quelques années, j’ai eu un coup de coeur, et je voudrais y retourner pour approfondir un peu ! Bonne continuation et au plaisir de te lire dans le futur 🙂 Gabrielle de l’Allée du Monde.
