A walk around Crewe

Open spaces and places to walk your dog are getting few and far between as more houses are built. This is a walk around Crewe taking in some of the best places to enjoy a taste of the country or walk your dog.
Taking pictures of empty fields is that simple but I have tried to make the photos interesting
We start at Tipkinder the home of the Skate Park and BMX track and used for the fair there are 2 fields the bottom one shown here is often very wet if there has been rain but there is a good path

Often missed is the shaded walk in the mini wood down by the stream which runs through Tipkinder and can lead to Collins St



Going past the Queens Park and around the back past the golf Club we come to the Georges Playing fields as wide area with goal post in the winter and often used to fly model planes


You can walk across the golf coarse and there is a path that takes you as far as the Rising Sun with woods and a stream.


Coming around to West St and off Hulme St there is a big field at the back of Bentley which a lot of people dont know about


This takes us to Minshull New Rd and the new path across the field being built that will take you to town it has a stream and a play area and the paths are nearly finished


Cross over the road to Brooklands Grove and you come onto the path that goes at the back of Badger Ave


This brings us to Broad St Field now with a path across it leading to the Cemetery


At the end of Market St turn under the Cumberland bridge and there is an another field with goal post leading by the railway


Down Henry St at there is the play ground in Queens st near the Telephone exchange


Over the bridge in Earle St and on the left there is a small walk by the railway to Sydney good for train spotting


Macon way and there is a large picnic are with a childs play area which as you can see often get flooded


Finally if you like a good walk
The South Cheshire ramblers group were in Crewe Library with a stall on Saturday as part of a general fitness show. The group organizes walk from very simple short walks to expeditions that require a level of fitness and the right equipment. So no matter what your needs they should have a walk that will suit you. get out in the fresh air and enjoy the country side at the same time helping you to keep slim and healthy.
One of the RA's primary objectives is to protect public rights of way, especially footpaths, and to encourage their use.

For all queries please contact the group secretary
