ソーントンルムーアでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Strap in - this is steep!

"The NWM site occupies the former Netherpool port that was designed by Thomas Telford, under the direction of William Jessop, for the ill-fated Ellesmere Canal. The proposed waterway in England and Wales was planned to carry commercial traffic between the rivers Mersey and Severn. The NWM's historic buildings are all that remain of the inland port that transferred goods and cargo from narrowboats onto rivercraft that would then sail to the docks at Liverpool. The northern section of the Ellesmere Canal, which was built as a 10 mile contour canal, connected Netherpool port to Chester Canal in 1797."

Probably the highest spot on the walk, open and breezy with a panoramic view of the Mersey estuary. You deserve a breather here!

The road is closed to vehicles but is open to cyclists & pedestrians

Helsby Hill is an Iron Age hillfort commanding a prominent position above Helsby village and grand views in all directions. Combining both natural and human-made features, steep cliffs on the northern and western sides would have provided a natural semicircular defence, while double rampart earthworks to the south and east would have provided protection to those sides.

Caves , fast Dh tracks with some uphill dort sections to climb, nice place for a stop

Wear wellies 👍😉 The bridle way is a green corridor which takes you to a lane, turn right & you can stay on the Poplar Farm Lane or take the next bridle way on the left to Rake Lane & head towards Cheshire Oaks for a Brew!😉
