Try on greyhound gap, lots from that area down there,
i do know some walk at canock sometimes
if you try the local council sites, they should have details
of local walking areas.

If you fancy driving then -
Not far from you is tatton its about 30 mins away,
but it is on lead and there are deer,
Crosby/formby beach is about an hour away from you,
we walk quite often up there, you can walk out quite a distance
when the tide is out and its quite safe, there are bunnys in the sand dunes,
but the dunes are quite a distance from any main road, and sometimes there
are horses on the beach, if you want one thats even more quieter,
then not far down the road, near blackpool is st annes its dead on there,
you have to make sure you check the tide times otherwise you can get quickly cut off,
but you can walk out miles,
then you've got us an hour down the m6

we have as many safe place's as you want.
