The Sutton in Ashfield rambling club, founded in 1931, is delighted to welcome new and existing members on our walks. Cheshire is renowned for its rolling hills and pastoral landscapes with historic sites and delightful market towns dotting to the landscape. For less challenging rambles, it also offers walks alongside its network of canals.
As a walking club who regularly visit Cheshire, we'd recommend any of the following rambles.
