Instructions
1 (SJ 969 878) Roman Lakes. Go to Roman

down a steep lane off the B6101. Go under the railway and turn right twice
along the unmade road to reach Roman Lakes after one km. Observe ducks etc
on ornamental pond. Detailed
directions.
1 -> 2 (2.61 Km)
The walk starts out left from Roman Lakes and follows the track by the river,
under the railway, then alongside the railway before emerging onto a track
by a farm. Turn right over the railway then down to a T-junction where a right
turn takes you to the B6101 at Strines.
2 -> 1 (5.08 Km) Go straight across the main road then
up the hill to the canal. Turn right along the right bank of the canal (heading
north) and enjoy the stroll back to the fleshpots of Marple before returning
down lanes to Roman Lakes.
This walk can be done in the dark, ambient light should be sufficient to keep
use of torches to a minimum.
