Our ‘Featured Walk’ for March and April is based on one of our March Hare Walks and explores the countryside to the East of Mere Town. It goes out to Charnage and follows part of the Monarch’s Way. The walk is about three and a half miles (a bit under 6 kilometres) and will take a bit more than an hour. In wet weather, some parts of the return to town can be quite boggy. There are no stiles to climb over. Below are images of the route and a description which you can print.
Scroll past them if you want to use our photo waymarkers to guide you.
Enjoy!

East of Eden definitely one for April as it goes passed our 2 bluebell woods!
John Jordan
Yes, it does and they are a treat to see. I would point out that the bluebell wood by Charnage House is on private land but can be viewed well from the footpath. Bluebell fans can also see them from the paths on Duncliffe.

Great to have the photos of the waypoints, thank you for taking the time
John Jordan
Thank you. We hope they help walkers get around the walks easily.

I think Jerry and I did this walk a couple of years back with the footpath group and I’ve tried it since but got lost as soon as I got into open countryside…. so this is SO helpful! Thank you 🙂
John Jordan
Glad to hear it – enjoy.

I jogged round the East of Eden walk today – a really nice mini trail run for anyone wanting to run off-road a bit. It could be linked to Great Bottom route and/or to the footpaths leading out across The Meads run. There was enough mud to make it fun!

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Happy to include Healthy Mere Jogging reports on here!
