Route description
Known locally as the ‘Happy Valley,’ Bollington sits in the foothills of the Pennine range and is a north western gateway to the Peak District National Park.
This route loops out around the neighbouring village of Rainow before quickly climbing to White Nancy, a Grade II listed landmark built as a summer house by the Gaskell family around 1815. A classic short circular walk that packs a lot of punch with lofty sunset views across the Cheshire Peak District.
