Cheshire is a wonderfu county that streches from the internationally important Dee estuary, to the windswept moors of the Peak District. In between there is a rich mosaic of agricultural land, woodland and lowland heath interlaced with rivers and canals.
Cheshire isideal for cycling, not too flat and not too hilly. Discover the real Cheshire as you cycle along quiet, tree-lined lanes, through gentle countryside and sleepy villages. There's always plenty to see along the way and places to stop for some well-earned refreshment! Former railway lines such as the Wirral Way and the Biddulph Valley Way provide safe, traffic-free rides for cyclists and horse riders alike.
Cheshire should be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Nearly 300km of bridleways and byways combined with quiet lanes offer a variety of opportunities for riders. From long trails to short circular rides, there is something for everyone.
In addition to former railway lines such as the Wirral Way and the Biddulph Valley Way, there are opportunities to get away from the traffic at Marbury and Brereton Heath Country Parks. More experienced riders can explore the Bishop Bennet Way, a 55km route through South-West Cheshire using bridleways, byways and minor roads.
