Careful on the south side, quite boggy.

the path around east side is very muddy in parts definitely need boots or wellies, not walking shoes like me lol

Tatton Park is always a great place to be.

Pickmere Lake is a popular spot in Cheshire for open water swimming. Lawns and Picnic tables as well as car parking are available throughout the site.

Tatton Hall was built in 1716 with improvements made in the early 1800s and again in the late 1800s. The centrepiece of Tatton Park, the house is owned by the National Trust but looked after and managed by Cheshire County Council.

Melchett Mere is the smaller of the two lakes at Tatton Park, still equally as lovely though. The lake is a dedicated Site of Special Scientific Interest and RAMSAR site and is recognised as a nationally important habitat, providing refuge for many waterbirds and displaying an abundance of wildflowers and scarce plant life.

The grand estate at Tatton Park boasts a neo-classical mansion, 50 acres of landscaped gardens, 1,000 acres of ancient deer park, a medieval Old Hall and even a rare breed farm. A fun day out to visit - or just take in the views as you cycle by. Looked after by the National Trust, tickets are required for all entries including NT members.

Great ride through Tatton Park. Often lots of deer to be seen, particularly in the early mornings before the crowds arrive. Watch out at weekends when there a lot of cars, walkers, prams, other cyclists and dogs around.

Marbury Country Park boasts avenues of lime trees, an arboretum, a wildlife-rich mere, and even has an outdoor swimming pool (£8 for adults, £5 for children). The park is nestled within Northwich Community Woodlands, where former industrial land is gradually being reclaimed by nature.

lovely location to ride through

Great in Autumn seeing the deer in rutting season

nice place to stop off, but no shop to buy refreshments nearby

nice place to stop & refuel, great views towards the Cheshire plain.

close your mouth up the climb! lots of bugs

Beware of cars pulling out of houses, some of driveways are sharp and the cars have to pull out slightly to actually see what’s on the road

Redesmere is a lovely place to stop in the evening as it can provide some lovely sunsets. The climb from here is quite short but the roads are narrow so be wary of cars not wanting to give way. Once you've reached the top grab a drink looking out over the Cheshire Plains.

Nice climb from Redesmere along quiet lane to "Ron's Railings". The climb is rewarded by great views across to Jodrell Bank and the Cheshire Plain. Just be aware of other riders and cars coming down round a couple of tight narrow bends. Much better to go up than down this hill as there is a lot of gravel and sand if travelling fast. Continue on at the top to Henbury or Gawsworth, or take first right to Over Alderley via Birtles Lane.
