A 9-mile walk from Runcorn Station to Frodsham Station taking in a range of environments. From Runcorn Station the walk passes the Buddhist Temple Peace Garden with its “Bronzed Chedi” and on to view the magnificent murals painted below the Silver Jubilee Bridge. From there the walk follows along the Manchester Ship Canal to the point at which the Bridgewater Canal previously entered the Ship Canal. After passing the path of the disused locks, the route passes the Runcorn War Memorial and the statue of Runcorn’s WW1 Hero “Todger” Jones, V.C., before entering Runcorn Hills Quarries, with their sheer cliff faces and magnificent views across the Mersey Estuary, (on a clear day Blackpool Tower can be seen from the top of “Frogs Mouth”). The walk then continues through Weston Village to Clifton Village, along the River Weaver before crossing Frodsham Swing Bridge. We then follow a path along the River Weaver and the M56 Viaduct to where another collection of magnificent murals painted on the supports of the viaduct can be viewed. The final section of the walk takes a path back to Frodsham Station via footpaths across open fields. Note: Walkers wishing to return to Runcorn can go by train to Runcorn or Runcorn East Station, or by the X30 or X2 bus from outside the Bears Paw Public House, Frodsham.
