スモールウッドでののおすすめツーリングルート

A wonderful example of a lock bridge, and a great spot for a BAAB (bike against a bridge) photo. It's peaceful and picturesque, you might even spot a canal boat or two.

Beautiful place to visit

„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

The most southerly of the change bridges, this one separates the horse path from the roadway - the two are at slightly different levels. Just beyond the bridge is Congleton wharf with good mooring against the towing path.

nice village cafe with freshly baked scones.

good place to stop to quench your thirst. fresh ice cold milk sold by the litre or milk shake's various flavours. tip if you have a milkshake use a 2 litre bottle (empty bottles are provided) as with the milkshake syrup and the milk the 1 litre bottle will overflow!!!! open from very early in the morning till 9.30pm takes cash (coins ) or contactless payments. Also has a nice padded bench which is under cover.

Well maintained and very smooth path. Must be great to ride in winter

Great bridleway, some parts are very overgrown and muddy but I still think its worth the trip
