This route is pretty self explanatory as there are only a few places you can go. From the start point near The Ship Inn (great pub) walk through Styal village and head towards Styal woods. Everything is well signed.
Take the right hand track when you wander into the woods after coming out of the village. You'll take the left hand track back out again before turning right to head into and around Quarry Bank Mill.
If you get lost it is easy to double back, but you shouldn't get lost!
