This cycling holiday in Cheshire is a leisurely cycle tour of some of Cheshire’s finest black and white villages and the lovely Tudor market town of Nantwich.
Starting near Chester, explore Delamere Forest or Little Budworth Common, then to Tarporley with its Georgian High St and good selection of places to eat. From here the route takes you to pretty villages like Bunbury and the market town of Nantwich.
On the moderate route you then head on to Audlem with the busy Shropshire Union canal, and a long stretch of locks, before joining the gentle route near Wrenbury where you can watch the boats negotiate the swing bridge from the canalside pub. Head back to Chester through the unspoilt borders area around (not up) the Peckforton Hills, past Stretton Mill and through the pretty black and white village of Tattenhall.
There are lots of interesting things to do along the route including a visit to Hack Green Nuclear bunker a fascinating ‘cold war’ nuclear bunker which is now a museum, Dagfields crafts and antiques centre, Cholmondeley Castle Gardens, Beeston Castle, Stapley Water Gardens, and Nantwich Museum.
