„Today the Salt Line runs through farmland and woodlands, with streams, pools and rough grassland. Wild primroses brighten up the steep cutting at Roughwood Hollow while later in the year the delicate flowers of scabious and harebell can be seen on the banks. Areas of willow and hazel are coppiced regularly. This is an ancient woodland practice in which trees are cut every few years to produce timber that would have been traditionally used for thatching spars, barrel hoops, hurdles and baskets. Sheltered glades are created where flower and insects thrive, until the trees re-grow and the process begins again. Some areas are managed as wild flower meadows while others are left fairly wild and just cut back enough to keep the path clear. Look out for Bullfinches and Yellowhammers that feed on buds, berries and seeds along the Salt Line.“ Quelle: https://visitcheshire.com/trails/the-salt-line

when the coffee shop is busy there is an ice cream vending machine next to the cafe door

make sure you buy your bottle from the bottle vending machine first before going to the milkshake machine

Pull off the road to see a beautiful clear view across the fields of the Jodrell Bank observatory

Very quiet, but the surface has deteriorated badly, especially near the top. Look out for the owl 🦉🦉

A pleasant lane nice during autumn and early spring. You can often spot Blur Bells growing along the way.

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

nice village cafe with freshly baked scones.
