This unusual linear walk
will start from the Combermere Pub at Burleydam on the Cheshire border
and will takes us across bridleways and back into Shropshire onto
the beautiful Melverley Meadows which has some beautiful rare flowers,
orchids and a lot of wildlife. From here we will continue our walk
heading across Shropshire fields with scenic views. On the last stretch
of our walk, we will be then serenaded by the Green Man Morris
dancers to The Olde Jack Inn. Here we will enjoy a cool glass of
cider and enjoy Dave Dunn's Green Man Morris Dancers with the option of
our walkers to join in and learn about this old english folk
dance.
Minibus both ways, back in time for the Get-together. Dogs are most
welcome to join this walk.
