"One of my favourite shorter walks is around the Big Heath. I head towards Ladies Mile, taking in the latest flowers en route, turn into the heath at Northwich Road and walk the perimeter. The beautiful sunshine yesterday was an added bonus."

"It's a heath, surprisingly in knutsford. Not in the town centre because then it would be the town centre, but probably a 2 min walk. It has grass and trees as well👍"
