It has a mixture of woodland paths and gravely wide tracks beside the canal, which are all great for moss. Look out for Liverworts on the muddy banks near the footpath and river. Also, check the fallen trees for different moss.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=118AroUnAEZqJdtZR8rvFzMTnsAXzp4Gc\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routplotter.com&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/route\/1618255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.plotaroute.com\/route\/1618255<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk starts at a car park\noff the A627 walk into the woods and down to the riverside. Notice the damp\nstones by the river and many fallen trees with interesting mosses and\nliverworts. Following the trail, through the woods beside the River Medlock,\nyou find more fallen trees for mushrooms and mosses, notice the steep banks\nbeside the track, and mosses between the tree roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get to the Waterhouses\naqueduct, you can follow the brick embankment to Daisy nook country park\nvisitor centre for a cafe stop. Double back to the aqueduct and follow the path\nup to the Hollinwood canal. Notice the mosses on the stonework and walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trail continues to a large pond, follow it round to the old Fairbottom Branch canal and all the way along the canal path to the A627 where you can get back to the car park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Information:<\/strong> Visit Daisy Nook Country Park website, where you can download a map and plan your own day out. <a
