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.

Nice surprise to pass. Drinks as well as cakes. Accepts cash or pay by phone.

The Trent and Mersey Canal is a 93 1/2 mile (150 km) canal in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire in north-central England. The Trent and Mersey Canal (T&M) was built to link the River Trent at Derwent Mouth in Derbyshire to the River Mersey, and thereby provide an inland route between the major ports of Hull and Liverpool. The Mersey connection is made via the Bridgewater Canal, which it joins at Preston Brook in Cheshire. Although mileposts measure the distance to Preston Brook and Shardlow, Derwent Mouth is about 1 mile (1.6 km) beyond Shardlow.

The first name John has been widespread since biblical times, and so it should come as no surprise to find a whole series of blesseds and saints bearing this name over the two millennia of Christianity. At the threshold between the Old and New Testaments, we encounter John the Baptist (also John Baptist), to whom most churches dedicated to John are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name. This church in Sandbach Heath is dedicated to him, Saint John the Evangelist. A long-standing church tradition has considered the Evangelist to be identical with the apostle John mentioned in the Bible, but this is disputed in biblical scholarship. "The Gospel of John exerts a peculiar fascination. It is difficult to escape its solemn, at times mystical language. It speaks to deep human needs and longings: hunger and thirst, the search for fulfilling eternal life, the longing for personal communion with God." (Franz-Josef Ortkemper)

The field sections of this route are a little tricky to follow as the path line has been obliterated (due to farmers changing fence lines or simply ploughing etc), & I found one gate chained shut so had to climb over it.

St John's was built in 1861 and designed by George Gilbert Scott following a bequest of £5,000 (equivalent to £590,000 in 2023).

You can use the byway just off the main canal footpath

A lovely section of the Trent and Mersey Canal, which widens out to include twin locks and a bridge. There are views of Mow Cop in the distance and a couple of benches that make for an excellent picnic spot.

It's a great ride through golf fields. Perfect for a gravel bike

Lovely piece of the past British architecture.

This is a sensational country pub sporting a stunning thatched roof, games room, delicious menu and long list of real ales.

Sections can be muddy but passable

Nice little pub, check out the wolf on the roof.

A nice area to explore if you are local. There are a few meandering paths but sadly access to the pool is restricted. Woodland sale signs everywhere too. Tragic! Explore it whilst you can, folks.

Once the residence of the Lawton family, this is now split into modern residences of houses and apartments by a property developer. It dates to around 1600 and is a grade II listed building.
