This week's walk takes us to the Kelsall area once again, as you explore the golds and ambers of autumn in Primrosehill Wood.

Although mainly comprised of woodland, the route also incorporates a stretch on a quiet country lane, which offers spectacular views looking out to Wales on one side, and towards Manchester on the other.

If you head for Kelsall's Waste Lane and follow it up and round two sharp bends, you will soon see a small car park on your left, and the entrance to the forest.

• Follow the path away from the car park and into Primrosehill Wood, which is a detached section of Delamere Forest.

You can keep to the main footpath all the way round, but there are also narrower, more characterful tracks on either side, which often loop back towards the central spine and are worth investigating!

• Moving further into the forest, you will see a sign for Urchin's Kitchen.

Hidden in amongst the trees, this 20-30 foot deep gorge is a glacial drainage channel dating from the last Ice Age.

This would have been created by the great pressure applied by a vast ice sheet, which covered the Cheshire Plain in 1,000 feet of ice.

Through the course of your walk, you might also spot that the forest paths are covered in at least 15 different types of pebble.

This mixture of stones was carried here by the ice sheet as it travelled from the Irish Sea Basin 22,000 years ago.

• Continue along the woodland path, through the avenues of beech trees, until you reach a sort of junction, with a gate leading into a private property on the right.

• Turn left and follow the track as it skirts round the edge of the woods and gives way onto Tirley Lane.

• To extend your walk, you might want to turn left at the John Street sign leading onto a wooded path dipping down from the lane.

This will take you past Tirley Garth, a 1907 Arts and Crafts style country house, with beautiful gardens which are open to visitors one or two days a year.

You can then turn right onto said John St, and then right again back onto the Sandstone Trail path that we mentioned in our Willington and Little Switzerland walk, to return to the original route.

• If you choose to continue along Tirley Lane, you will eventually reach a kink in the road intersected by the Sandstone Trail.

• As the road bends, you will see a gate signposted Primrose Hill / Delamere Forest on your right.

Take this path to join the Sandstone Trail, dipping down towards the forest with the transmitter masts on Old Pale Heights in front of you.

• As the path drops down through the fields and back into the wood, keep following the Sandstone Trail signs.

• These will soon bring you back to the main pathway you covered at the beginning of your walk. Turn left to return to the car park.

• If this walk has got you feeling peckish, Kelsall's Morris Dancer and Royal Oak pubs will provide a cosy spot for a leisurely Saturday or Sunday lunch.
