Footpaths

On this page you will find maps of the footpaths in Spurstow as well as reports on the condition of each footpath.

There is a file with 4 maps which, between them, show an overview of all the paths in Spurstow. It’s available to download here: Spurstow Footpaths Overview Maps. You can use these maps to find a path or paths you’d like to walk or inspect and to plan your route.

There is also an online interactive map on the Cheshire East website which allows you to zoom in for more detail. You can start by searching for ‘Spurstow’ then zooming out. This map is available here:  Public Map Viewer

Inspection Reports on each footpath can be downloaded using the links below in the Report column. Most are as yet blank apart from the map. To find a particular footpath, download the relevant report which will have a map showing where the path is.

If you would like to inspect a path and fill in a report please contact clerk@spurstow.org.uk. You can choose any path that has not been updated in the past year and is not currently being updated. You might want to print off one of the Overview Maps and take it with you to help you follow the relevant paths and you can use it to makes notes on, e.g. the positions of stiles or where you have taken photographs.
