The Group
Goostrey is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.
Goostrey Parish contains the huge Lovell radio telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory which can be seen from some of our footpaths. The Jodrell Bank Observatory is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Goostrey Footpaths Group is an informal group of volunteers who work in co-operation with Goostrey Parish Council and Cheshire East Council Public Rights of Way Unit to maintain and improve rural footpaths around the village, making them enjoyable and accessible to all, and encouraging the use of these footpaths.
Over the years the Group has published various publications detailing the walks available in the Village and its surroundings. These publications are available for viewing and download on this Website in the section “Publications”.
The Group always welcomes new members or supporters. So, if you have an interest in our local footpaths or wish to report a problem or make suggestions as to how we could improve our network of footpaths please get in touch via the Contact Us link.
