Pup Obi Travels

On the edge of Altrincham is Dunham Massey. Have heard about it, know about it, never been to it. Well pup has no photos recorded so not sure if ever been before. But for the out walkers, I thought a new wall at Dunham might be worth a try.

We started the walk near the war memorial in Bowden and did a criss cross walk over the golf course into Dunham Massey grounds. Sort made up the walk, so could be a success or not so good lol

There are more photos in the album if you click on the link above which show your full walk route we did through pictures. The grounds were nice and open, a few feet about but at a distance which was a shame. Don’t get to see much deer when you live in Radcliffe. So moving to Cheshire, already seeing new things like deer by doing this walk on the edge of Greater Manchester.

The hall was interesting, though we didn’t go into it on the walk. Just skirted round to as the walk intended took us the Bridgewater Canal and walk along that to make the walk circled and different than walking around just the ground of Dunham.

The Bridgewater Canal which runs out from Salford Quays and is part of the Cheshire ring, is again full of history. The crane and blocks are old and used if there ever is a breach on the canal wall to stop the water flushing away. Didn’t see many barges on the canal on the walk sadly. But the easy towpath allowed is good access round the Dunham Estate back to Durban. village. The MBB canal which back up Radcliffe where I am from is a none navigable canal and lots of the route are just footpaths, not as easy accessible at the Bridgewater.

The last leg of the walk took us through part of Dunham Village and a few streets of Bowden back to the start. Generally the walk was okay. Having never done it before wasn’t sure what to expect, so might not do this one again. Have lots of other routes coming up and as never explored Cheshire yet, a whole county to explore.
