Tegg’s Nose Hike 

Tegg’s Nose is a beautiful countryside adventure for our Tiny Trekkers, with stunning views across the Cheshire countryside, woodland, open parkland and plenty for little legs to explore.

This is a slightly more adventurous Tiny Trekkers walk, so we’ll be taking our time and allowing plenty of stops along the way. The aim isn’t to rush to the finish — it’s about getting little ones moving, exploring together and having fun outdoors.

The route is around 2 miles and includes some uneven and rugged sections, so this is one for confident little walkers rather than a pram walk. A baby carrier is recommended for younger children who may need a break.

And of course, we’ll have plenty of snacks! Because we all know that snacks are essential equipment when you’re walking with toddlers.

The views from Tegg’s Nose are absolutely beautiful, making this a really special place to introduce little ones to a proper countryside adventure.
