ストックトンヒースでののおすすめツーリングルート

Fantastic cafe in an old greenhouse setting at Grappenhall Walled Garden which is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Well worth including in you’re route

Nice and wide so easy passing walkers. Several road crossings so take care.

Great way to get a tour of Cheshire with a stop at Anderton Boat lift and passing through the beautiful village of Great Budworth.

Open Tue - Sun 10:00 till 16:00

Walton Hall is a country house in Walton, Warrington, Cheshire. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The hall and its surrounding garden and grounds are owned and administered by Warrington Borough Council and open to the public. Sir Gilbert Greenall (1806–1894) built Walton Hall in 1836. He was the son of Edward Greenall (1758–1835) who had purchased the Walton Estate in 1812. At this time there was an old hall on the property north east of the present building which has since been demolished. When his father died in 1835, Gilbert inherited the Walton Estate. In the following year he married Mary Claughton. In this year also he commenced building Walton Hall, a project which took two years. He was a partner in his long established family brewing firm of Greenall Whitley & Company with his brothers and made a large fortune. He invested his money in property and became part of the landed gentry. He became a Member of Parliament from 1847 until 1892 representing Warrington. He was also High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1873 and was a Justice of the Peace. He was a personal friend of Lewis Carroll whose father was the vicar in the nearby Church at Daresbury. He visited Carroll when he was at Oxford University and Carroll visited him at Walton Hall. A photo was taken by Carroll of the Hall in 1859 when he was there. Source: Wikipedia

Bluebell woods are breathtaking to visit, but bluebells are sensitive plants and trampling can really leave its mark. Bluebell bulbs are easily damaged by trampling so they can’t produce enough energy to flower and reproduce in subsequent years. Areas of high footfall can even cause entire colonies to die out. Help us to look after them by sticking to paths and avoid treading on or near bluebell plants.

The whole trail is worth riding, not just this section

Beauty spot and nice place to stop.

stock up on supplies and rest

Great for refuel on coffee and snacks

Clearance shop for clothes and household goods on Prison grounds, good place to pick up a bargain and maybe a cafe coming soon???

A lovely quiet lane making a cut through. Although the signs say road closed, there's an excellent bridleway that connects up two tarmac stretches

Great place for food and drink.

Great place for coffee or snack stop, on the Trans-Pennine Trail as it crosses Whitbarrow Road, some outside seating but no toilet.

A good place to get any supllies along the lymme part of the Trans Pennine trail

Lovely forested off-road packed trail under trees with some bridges overhead. Some bits with loose chunky gravel but nice and flat all along.

Nice gardens
