A return visit to Prestbury & the Bridge. Spunching in the beautiful rolling countryside surrounding the delightful village of Prestbury, on a great network of well-used paths. North or south along the Bollin Valley? Or undulating up towards Hare Hill? Might you bump into one of the many local celebs who make Prestbury their home? Hilly and less hilly options available at this one and generally good conditions underfoot*. There will be something for everyone and even locals will likely discover new paths and places!
Great food and drink available from the Bridge Hotel after your run / walk to be enjoyed in their fantastic indoor or outdoor areas. The venue is child friendly & dog friendly too.
With over 60 Spunchpoints to go for - how many will you bag?
