Marbury

1. Start your walk from a roadside verge at the eastern end of Marbury, on the Wrenbury road. Walk away from the village and turn right through a kissing gate, continue along the right-hand field boundary to another kissing gate into a farmyard.

2. Continue up the farm drive to the road and turn left to a footpath sign in the hedge on the left. Cross the stiles and follow the left-hand boundary to the top of the rise, then across the field towards the stile to a railway.

3. Cross the railway carefully and go ahead over two more stiles and on to the road at a junction. Go ahead on the road opposite, passing through Hollyhurst, as far as another road junction.

4. Go on for 100 yards, then cross the stile on the left and walk over two more stiles to Oss Mere.  Returning to the road, turn left and then almost immediately right over a stile into a large field.

5.

Follow the telegraph poles to a stile on to a lane and turn left under abridge, and at the road junction turn left up hill as far as a track on the right which finishes at a gate and stile.

6. Turn right to cross a track in the field and, after crossing the stile, head half-left to another stile and then descend the bank.

7. At the bottom, turn rightand follow the track along Big Mere. After crossing several stiles you arrive in a large field next to the church.

8. Bear right to a gate and stile and turn left towards the village green. Turn right and walk back to the start.
