Local walks & Parish History

PARISH WALKS

Your Parish Council is in the process of putting together information about local walks in and around the parish. Each of our walks is circular and includes route descriptions and information about notable landmarks

The first of these is called 'Country Lanes Around the Parish'. This walk includes the village of Higher Walton, Mill lane, Park Lane, Hough Lane and part of the Bridgewater Canal. We have included information about a few local landmarks as well.

The second walk is called 'Walton Gardens to Hill Cliffe' which takes your though Walton Gardens to the reservoir and then over to Hill Cliffe.

The walking routes can be accessed via the highlighted links above or by visiting our Parish Map & Gallery page.

Walton has a rich history dating as far back as late medieval times. in 2021 we produced a guide to a number of key sites around our parish. 'Our Heritage' can be downloaded from our parish website.
