„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

"My pocket money goes towards buying secondhand books. I love the dry, musty smell of old books, the feel of the silky paper between my fingers. In any case, the book collection in my room is growing, and I find nothing makes a home feel more homely. Sometimes I feel a sense of elation just holding a book in my hands." (Deborah Crombie in "The Lost Poem")

Dogs cannot enter but seating outside small cafe and toilets lovely stop on route

Beware crossing the bypass

The Wheelock Rail Trail near Sandbach follows the route of a disused railway from Ettiley Heath to Malkins Bank. Today the trail is a rich haven for wildlife and wild flowers and provides a pleasant level and wide route through the Cheshire East countryside.

Built in 1857, costing £2,500 and was constructed in the Gothic style. Ramsay MacDonald once addressed a meeting here.

Just off a main road is this quiet country lane which also has a short step free access to good canal path

Cyclists are asked to dismount on part of the trail due to rabbit burrows. Fabulous for families, and hikers too
