Cheadle Hulme Station to Bramhall Station
a fantastic woodland walk. A route of two halves: a lengthy walk on suburban streets and pavements, with a short uphill climb and redeemed by a delightful stretch through Carr Wood on a good woodland path above a brook. Mostly level with some short steep bits. There are plenty of benches in Carr Wood. The gate where the path meets the road at the top of Carr Wood is narrow.
Easy: 3km, moderate ascents.
Lunch: Shops, cafes and a historic pub near Cheadle Hulme, and shops at the Bramhall end.

Wilmslow Station to Cheadle Hulme Station
A direct mix of suburban roads, tracks and field paths, with some wide footpaths. Has steps, a kissing gate and a stile, so foot-traffic only in places. The section through Stanley Green is very marshy and boggy and prone to flooding.
Easy: 7km, moderate ascents.
The 300-400m of footpath between Stanley Road and the playing field can be very muddy and is often flooded in wet weather; waterproof boots recommended. A flight of around 100 steps.
