A change of plan for Stage 3 of the Greater Manchester Ringway. I have heard about something called the "Didsbury Dozen". With an afternoon free, I'll start at Bramhall to ensure that I finish at Didsbury.
Good use of my System One day pass. Swinton Train Station is (wo)manned, so there is someone to ask about an elusive public transport ticket that is unavailable from automated machines and newsagents recommended on the website. Three trains and I am alighting at Bramhall - a positively leafy suburb of Stockport.
Once through the grounds of Bramhall Hall - A Tudor manor house never actually seen on route, so no photos - there's not a great deal to shout about this easy walk.
It follows a hidden trail along Ladybrook stream. A corridor through the housing estates of Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle - where we do surface for refreshment. I, of course, am saving myself for the 12 pubs of Didsbury.
