We'll stop to take in the views across the Mersey
Then follow the Sandstone Trail all the way down to Delamere Forest
We'll pass the village of Manley from the rear!
Then looping round the edge of the forest , we'll pick up the Delamere Way.
Towards the end , will be relatively high up with views all around towards Liverpool and Wales
