St Cuthbert’s Way Day 2 – Newton St Boswells to Jedfoot Bridge

St Cuthbert’s Way Walk Day 2 would see us walking from Newton St Boswells to Jedfoot Bridge – a distance of about 15 miles. Having stayed at the Drybough Arms pub in Newton St Boswell, we were heading off to Jedfoot Bridge for our second day of the St Cuthbert’s Way walk.

Leaving the car park we found the…

Linnet Clough Walk

The St Cuthbert’s Way walking tour is getting ever closer. So it was, after a brief rest following our Macclesfield and Gawsworth cycle ride earlier in the day, Sarah and I met up with Neil and Nicholl for another late afternoon walk. This time we would walk out to Linnet Clough. We met at the Townley Terrace car park in Marple. It was raining. From there, we turned into Station Road and then into Lockside and walked up along the…
