The 6 day Castles and Meres cycling holiday meanders through the quiet countryside of south Cheshire, crossing canals and circling the Peckforton Hills (dotted with castles).
Head to Shropshire’s Lakeland to explore the lovely small lakes that dot the area.
This cycling holiday starts near Chester allowing an opportunity to visit this Roman city at the start or end of your break. Explore Delamere Forest, the largest area of woodland in Cheshire, Mount Pleasant Gardens, Beeston Castle and visit the Dysart Arms one of the best pubs in the area, before heading to Shropshire’s Lakeland.
The Ellesmere area has many small glacial lakes, mosses, rare plants and wildlife and cycling is particularly quiet and peaceful with some lanes that rarely see a car!. From here head back to Chester along the Welsh border through the pretty villages of Bangor on Dee and Farndon. Can add an extra night staying in the Ellesmere/Wem area with circular rides to Colemere Country Park and Whittington Castle.
