ナッツフォードでののおすすめグラベルライド

Nice and wide so easy passing walkers. Several road crossings so take care.

Great way to get a tour of Cheshire with a stop at Anderton Boat lift and passing through the beautiful village of Great Budworth.

watch out for dog walkers who don't have their dogs on a lead.

Open 7 days a week (except Christmas day) 09:00 till 17:00 (summer) 09:00 till 16:00 (winter)

The Manchester Ship Canal is a 36-mile-long (58 km) inland waterway in the North West of England linking Manchester to the Irish Sea. Starting at the Mersey Estuary at Eastham, near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, it generally follows the original routes of the rivers Mersey and Irwell through the historic counties of Cheshire and Lancashire before joining the latter at Salford Quays. Several sets of locks lift vessels about 60 ft (18 m) to the canal's terminus in Manchester. Landmarks along its route include the Barton Swing Aqueduct, the world's only swing aqueduct, and Trafford Park, the world's first planned industrial estate and one of the largest in Europe.

Watch out for trail sabotage, encountered a couple of logs across the path.

A very pleasant cycleway - of course also for hikers and riders - along the Bridgewater Canal

The canal is a 36-mile waterway connecting the Mersey Estuary to the Port of Manchester, and Latchford Locks are a set of locks along this route, particularly in Warrington.

nice quiet roads

The whole trail is worth riding, not just this section

We rode this as part of Laureen’s Ride, a waymarked horse riding/cycling route along quiet lanes and bridleways. Conditions perfect beginning of April, although for cyclists, this is a dry weather ride. It will get very muddy.

Great place for families to visit on a nice day

Fantastic coffee and cakes on this floating cafe. A great option for a peaceful mid ride stop - sit on the canal banks and take it all in.

Canal barge cafe with some outdoor benches to take a load off. Well worth a stop on a nice day.

Nice quiet, straight and fairly flat country road. The area is quite agricultural, but there is heath land to the west.

The Bridgewater Canal connects Runcorn, Manchester and Leigh. It was originally built to transport coal from mines in Worsley to Manchester. Now it is forms part of the 40 mile (64 km) Bridgewater Way, a scheme to redevelop the canal, especially for cyclists.

Lovely forested off-road packed trail under trees with some bridges overhead. Some bits with loose chunky gravel but nice and flat all along.

Open 12-5 every day, great ice cream, lots of space for your bike. Little farm with cute goats and a curious ostrich. Great pit-stop, also have a sunflower field in season

great coffee and excellent bacon rolls

It is a small channel just off the Manchester Ship Canal At Stockton Heath. It is a lock with 3 gates and various manual pulling systems dotted around the site to mechanically open/close the gates. I looked in Emapping Cheshire and an aerial photo of the site in the 70’s shows that the other side of the locks was a waterway that fed into the River Mersey. That section was the Runcorn and Latchford Canal, it is closed off now and vanishes in the mass of undergrowth at the lock section.
