The Nantwich Riverside Loop walk became very popular when it was launched in 2012. It takes walkers through the Weaver Valley, along the side of the River Weaver, round Nantwich Lake, across farm fields, over a railway line(!), and along the Shropshire Union Canal before returning to the town.

   There are two car parks close to the route - one off Shrewbridge Road (opposite Nantwich Town Council's building and a care home) and the other off Shrewbridge Road at the start of the Nantwich Lake circular walk.

   The Riverside Loop is 5km or 3 mileslong and takes one-and-a-half to two hours.

   You choose when you wish to enjoy the walk, with no organisation to join. 

See this Letter from Nantwich for more about the walk

Arranged by Karen Mills (Zen Occupational Health) and Emma Dechoux (Inspired Learning), the walks show that exercise, the outdoors and socialising benefit mental health. The two-mile, all flat, walks start at 10am in The Square (Nantwich town centre) and go around Nantwich Lake (off Shrewbridge Road and Park Road) and return to Aroma Cafe for coffee or tea and a chat (optional). Open to everyone - adults, dogs and children (supervised by an adult).
