Combermere Woods Paul Sears 5m 3h £2 Register at The Swan, Marbury |
A walk
across undulating countryside leaving from the Swan at Marbury (please
car park at the back of the car park). The walk goes up the road out of
Marbury and then crosses
the fields to the Combermere Woods, where there is likely to be wild
garlic with the odd bluebell still remaining. The bird song in the woods
at this time of year can be lovely with the sound of Greater Spotted
Woodpeckers being fairly common. From here, we
head across the fields and up to Lodge Farm on Black park Road. We then
walk down the long side of Oss Mere, to follow the fields and road back
to Marbury.
This makes a varied walk of Woods, Lakes and Landscapes. Bring boots as it is likely to be slightly wet even at this time of year. |
