Out and Back

From West Didsbury down to The Didsbury and the Old Cock, then back up through the village

Starts on Lapwing Lane at The Railway and The Metropolitan, then heads down Barlow Moor Road via the Woodstock Arms and The Nelson. It goes south down Wilmslow Road to the Famous Crown, with The Didsbury and Ye Olde Cock Inn as the turning point in the middle. Then it comes back north via the Royal Oak, Fletcher Moss, the Dog and Partridge and Kennedy's to finish at The Station. The Railway doesn't open until 4pm on Mondays, so it doesn't work on a Monday.
