Main photo shows The Beest, not Peck!

Just to confirm what Ian said above - don't get caught out! Same friendly service, just a new location. Very satisfied with a recent comprehensive service (approaching a refurbishment!) of my gravel bike. Runs like new again.

Kelsall cycles now moved to CW6 0LP Utkinton (29/9/24)

This is the old location. Kelsall Cycles are now at : Rose Farm, John St, Tarporley CW6 0LP, which is to the south east of the old location.

Lovely country pub with extremely local Weetwood beers (brewery is just down the hill)

Beeston Castle is a former Royal castle in Beeston, Cheshire, England, perched on a rocky sandstone crag 350 feet above the Cheshire Plain. It was built in the 1220s by Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, on his return from the Crusades.

Peckforton Castle is a Victorian country house built in the style of a medieval castle. It stands in woodland at the north end of Peckforton Hills one mile (2 km) northwest of the village of Peckforton, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The house was built in the middle of the 19th century as a family home for John Tollemache, a wealthy Cheshire landowner, estate manager, and member of parliament. It was designed by Anthony Salvin in the Gothic style. During the Second World War it was used as a hostel for physically disabled children.

Nice little cafe that welcomes cyclists. Good for and drink and a lovely atmosphere.

Impressive cycle shop/workshop with a very good cafe doing decent coffee and cake. Always very friendly here. You can get some fantastic views from here, out over the Cheshire plain when the weather is clear

There's a new tap room at the brewery...with plenty of beer and spirits available! You can get coffee or a soft drink, but there's not a huge selection...and the only food available is crisps. However, if you're passing this way on your route then it's a nice place to stop ,particularly if its sunny, as there are bench tables outside.

A brilliant place to stop mid ride. The area is safe, there's plenty of seating and places to lock a bike up, and the coffee and food are delicious. Tarporley is a beautiful place to sit and watch everything go by for a while

Gorgeous route on perfect tarmac. The view of the castle gives good perspective on how far you've gone/still have left to go.

Good coffee, home made cake, great bike maintenance shop.

Can't really miss the sight of Peckforton. Not a 'real' castle like Beeston as such, but still impressive

Not open 7 days a week, and now moved premises to Utkinton.

nice view to the surrounding area. the route to the castle not suitable for a road bike, you may need to carry your bike on some parts

English Heritage maintained castle ruins sitting high on top of the hill. Like so much in the area it was destroyed in the Civil War.

Great road surface with a good view of Peckforton Castle looming above you as zoom past.

Quiet climb away from Runcorn. Good surface with a decent view at the top.

I think this might be the old location and they have moved. However the coffee and cakes were always good and presumably still are.
