A very quick jaunt up and round Bosley Cloud to take in the views and stretch the legs. The whole route is well signposted.
easy
Distance 3.2 km
Starting from the car park next to the Cloud marked on the map (Timbersbrook Car Park, or Bosley Cloud Parking on Google Maps) there is a metal gate immediately next to you on the hill. Head through it and then up the wooden steps to reach a track. Turn right, and follow the track round the edge of the hill.
Keep following signs to The Cloud, through the wooden barrier and then towards a sign that gives you one of three paths to take to the top. We'll take the far left one, as it gives the best views around the edge over teh Cheshire plain and out over Jodrell Bank and beyond.
Keep following the path all the way to the trig point.
Once you've reached the trig point, follow the path flanked by wooden beams immediately off the other side of the trig point.
Follow this path through a metal barrier and out the other side, down more steps. Once you reach a track, turn right.
Follow the track to the top and head through the stile immediately in front of you, then turn right. Follow this path along the edge of the field, and then over the next stile back into the woods.
Follow the path down the hill and through the woods, where you will emerge back at the sign indicating the 3 paths to the top. Head back through the wooden barrier, back down the hill all the way to your start point. Easy!
