Description
From Romiley Station cross the road at the pedestrian lights, turn left, immediate right following the blue signs (Middlewood Way and Chadkirk Chapel) onto Beech Lane and Chadkirk Lane.
Soon after the lane goes under the Peak Forest canal take the steps left up to the canal towpath and turn right.
The path (stones and earth, can be muddy in places at times) goes past the Board Mill (photo 1) and rises over Hyde Bank tunnel (photos 2 and 3) to Oakwood Road (stony).
Keep right at fork, passing Hyde Bank Farm on your right. Look for the descent to the canal on the right before the big gates.
Continue to Marple Viaduct (photos 4 and 5).
At the far end take the towpath on the left hand side of the canal to ascend Marple Locks.
Left at the main road to descend Brabyns Brow and take the steps left into the station (gpx shows road entrance)

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
