  • Strines- New Mills
    More Trips Out from Eccles Station J.E.Rayner 2010 Eighty two MARPLE –STRINES- NEW MILLS. This is an attractive stroll along the Goyt Valley. (For a very easy short walk go as far as Strines Station - trains back to Manchester every two hours so time your walk right). After Strines there is a relentless ascent to Brookbottom (the pub might be open!) followed by wide open views on the quiet lane to New Mills. Take the train to Manchester Victoria and from there a tram to Manchester Piccadilly Station. From here catch a train to Marple (NOT Rose Hill). Option: - turn right as you get off the tram and on Fairfield Street use the lift on the left to the link bridge lounge. STAGE I Alight at Marple Station. Go down the short approach road and turn left to Marple Bridge. Marple Bridge is an attractive stone village. The Midland is a free house selling cask marque real ales, tea, coffee, snacks and full meals. Cross the bridge over the River Goyt and turn right past the shops (The Royal Scot sells Robinson’s real ales). Fork right onto Lower Lea Road, and follow this. At the top of the gentle rise you see the hills ahead. Descend to a T with Lakes Road. Turn left along this. Follow it to the right in front of Bottoms Hall (Charmingly named, impressively sited - Georgian?). Next on the left are some lakes. Called Roman Lakes they are used for boating and fishing –take a look. Pass under the railway viaduct. On the right is a weir.

  • Stockport Bridleways Strategy
    7 June 2020 STOCKPORT BRIDLEWAYS STRATEGY Authors: Liz Morgan and Judith Thornton Notes The bridleways working group have been asked to provide this strategy on a voluntary basis; it was not funded by Stockport Council. 1 7 June 2020 Introduction Originally founded as SEABA (Stockport East Area Bridleways Association), Stockport Bridleways Association is an equestrian access group which defends, extends and promotes safe, easily accessible off-road riding and is affiliated to the British Horse Society (BHS). Debbi Hall, Chair of SEABA, is also a BHS access officer and Vice Chair for Stockport LAF In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, walking and cycling is being encouraged as an alternative to public transport and to avoid an increase in private car use. In Greater Manchester, a £5m cash injection from the mayor's cycling and walking fund will provide space for pedestrians and boost cycle-friendly routes aimed at enabling socially-distanced journeys and exercise both now and in the future. Stockport Council is already developing walking and cycling strategies and in order to allow equality of access to safe and accessible routes, Stockport Local Access Forum asked SEABA to develop a bridleways strategy for Stockport. Ultimately, this will enhance development of multi-user routes for walkers and cyclists and additionally presents an opportunity to incorporate greater access to off road routes for horse riders, by considering upgrade of current footpaths to bridleway status. Vulnerable users and road safety The Highway Code states “The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is particularly important to be aware of children, older and disabled people, and learner and inexperienced drivers and riders.” The Equestrian Access Forum (EAF) comprises the British Horse Society (BHS), the Byways and Bridleways Trust, the British Driving Society, the National Federation of Bridleway Associations and the South Pennine Packhorse Trails Trust.
