Join us for this linear walk from Manchester Airport to the Tatton Arms pub near Heald Green station. This walk starts off near the Manchester Airport Memorial Garden which many people are unaware of. The mile-long airport approach road is completely avoided ensuring this will include more greenery than in previous airport walks. It includes old farm buildings, forested paths and many views of the airport from dramatic and unusual vantage points. The walk is almost all flat with a small ascent near runway 2.
