A good place to stretch your legs. Around 2 miles, with options to make it longer if required. Parking is free; we'll set out. Out on a hard standing surface. The place derives its name from a disused potato field.
Great little walk for the dog..... Kids love it as well 😁
Not loads going on here, but a very pleasant place to walk and everyone we encountered was friendly and the car park is free. Just a shame some tramps leave their dog poo/bags laying around. Disgusting behaviour.
Spud Wood is a small woodland area developed by the Woodland Trust from an area of old potato fields. Not hard to figure! I'd seen signs for it previously and had a couple of hours to spare on my way past so thought I'd take a look. It's about one kilometer east of the village of Lymm, situated just south of the Bridgewater Canal so it is handy to tie into other trails in and around Lymm village. The wood itself is more of a pleasant woodland short walk than an all-out hike and the paths are largely flat and firm. Ideal for dog walking and suitable for both wheelchairs and pushchairs. The route shown here is simply a trail around the outer edge of the woodland but there are lots of smaller paths running off if you want to explore. At the end of the southern branch is what appears to be an area for BMX riding, if this appeals. There are few facilities here other than a free but small car park (20 cars). As stated, Lymm itself is close and handy to wander along the canal for lots of good cafes and pubs.
Decent place for a short walk. We spent an hour here on a Thursday afternoon. You can walk along the canal and around the woodland and field but there isn't much to do or see apart from that. A little busy and not very easy to social distance along the canal. Free small car park plus space on the road if it's full. Fine as a one off but better places to go.
