The Didsbury Dozen

West Didsbury Walk

Start in West Didsbury, walk down into the village and finish by the church

Starts at The Railway on Lapwing Lane and walks down Barlow Moor Road into the village, then south along Wilmslow Road to finish at The Didsbury. It covers more ground than the Village Dozen, with a longer stretch between the Woodstock Arms and The Nelson. This route skips Fletcher Moss, The Station and the Slug and Lettuce.

Starts near West Didsbury tram stop. Finishes at the south end of the village, so plan a taxi or bus home. Getting there and back

The line joins the pubs in order. It's not a walking route, so follow the streets.
