There is plenty of parking here, it's advised not to park on the pub car park unless you are going to be a customer. if you are intending to use the pub after your walk, you should be able to use their car park I would just let them know.

Great pub for traditional nicely cooked food & well kept Ales. There's a large carpark plus an outdoor children's play area. A great place to start & finish walks in either direction along the River Weaver Navigation.
