About this Event

Welcome to Freshwalks. This event is part of our vibrant Merseyside business community programme delivered in collaboration with , and . Everyone is welcome to join us for a day of hiking and networking in the great outdoors. Feel free to come alone - most Freshwalkers do - and you'll be warmly welcomed or invite a colleague or client along for company.


Route description

We’re heading to Frodsham and this scenic route will visit two of Cheshire’s most scenic prehistoric hilltop enclosures.

Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across Cheshire and the Mersey estuary from the rocky summit of Helsby Hill before crossing the valley to the tumbled ramparts of Woodhouse hilltop enclosure, high on the Cheshire Sandstone Ridge. In between, we'll stop for lunch in the Cheshire village of Alvanley.

Though the route only reaches a highest point of 142m the cumulative ups and downs across the day will make for a rewarding netwalking experience.
