Stage 18 of the GM Ringway, Greater Manchester's long-distance trail, links Irlam and Altrincham via lovely farmland and parkland.

A few optional alternative routes are shown on the map, including a longer one via The Devisdale, an attractive green space to the west of Altrincham.

Highlights include:

- Airy views from the toll bridge above Manchester Ship Canal, so important for the development of the metropolis
- The peaceful, Grade I-listed St Werburgh's Old Church in Warburton, possibly the finest small church along the whole route of the GM Ringway
- An easy and well-signposted section of the Bollin Valley Way past a series of country pubs
- An exploration of Dunham Massey, which with its 17th-century hall and deer park is one of the finest National Trust properties in the UK
- A 'secret' route into Altrincham town centre via quiet pathways.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
