After a successful series of walks in 2018, the ‘Tea at The Tower’ guided circular walks will continue monthly throughout 2019 and begin from St Mary’s Church, on Monks Lane in Acton near Nantwich.
The Tea at The Tower guided circular walks are carefully chosen to be good underfoot.
They do not involve climbing fences and are pleasant circular country walks of approximately two hours and four miles in length.
Their route is through beautiful Cheshire countryside involving paths within the Dorfold estate and adjacent to the Shropshire Union Canal.
The lead walker will match the pace to the groups level of general fitness.
A representative from Tea at The Tower explained: “The walkers always return very happy and ready for some refreshments which include our delicious cakes.”
All walks start from St Mary’s Church, Acton at 1pm.
Future dates are: Sunday 14th April, Sunday 12th May, Sunday 26th May, Sunday 9th June, Sunday 23rd June, Sunday 7th July, Sunday 21st July, Sunday 4th August, Sunday 18th August, Sunday 8th September and Sunday 22nd September.
All are welcome. Donations are gratefully received.
In addition to the walks, ‘Tea at The Tower’ is a weekly community cafe – where drink’s and cakes are served (donations are gratefully received).
These take place EVERY Sunday afternoon (2.30-4.30pm) throughout the year.
Visitors also have the opportunity of a guided tour up the church tower as far as the ringing chamber.
