This month’s Sholver Travel Futures Sunday Stroll is another journey of local discovery, generously led by our talented Sholver and Moorside historian Mike Smith. We’ll be exploring the fascinating relics of a long lost local economy - bricks! Come along and discover how bricks built our area, both figuratively and literally 🧱🏘🏡
This is a circular route taking in the three Moorside brickworks and the Millennium Cross monument on Besom Hill. The route is around 2 and 1/4 miles and will take at least 2h to complete, as we will be allowing rest and refreshment stops - be sure to bring along snacks and a drink! Be sure to wear warm waterproof clothing to protect against nettles and long wet grass as around half the route uses off road footpaths. There will be some drops and climbs, uneven terrain and buried brick debris, and potential for mud depending on weather, so be sure to wear sturdy shoes! There are also stiles along the route so sadly this stroll will not be suitable for those in prams or wheelchairs.

We'll meet as usual at the Sholver Community Centre entrance at 1pm before heading out - come along, make new friends, learn new routes, indulge in fresh air and exercise and get to know your local area in a way like never before - and don’t forget to bring a camera! You never know what you’ll see 🤩📸
