サットン・アポン・ターンのおすすめツーリングルート

Audlem is a stunning little town with a striking church and high street. Nice to see a place decked out with Union Flags.

I made the route start from Moreton Say, a really attractive village with free parking near the village pond.

This is one of a number of attractive pools along the route--great place to stop for a rest.

Audlem is an attractive place--beware of the traffic if you are on bike though!

Cheswardine Hall was built between 1875-1880 and belonged to the landed gentry family of Charles Donaldson-Hudson. After a variety of post victorian owners it is now a luxury care home for the elderly.

The present Church of St Nicholas is of Norman origin but was lengthened in the 14th century. The Perpendicular style tower was added around 1460 by the Earl of Warwick but he didn't get round to finish the job and top it off with a spire. Being an Earl must be a tad busy I guess!

The church of St Swithun in Cheswardine. First built in the 13th centaury with the tower added in the late 15th centaury and then several modifications since. It's now a grade 2 listed building. As a different rider said the deep porch is useful to escape the rain.

Audlem is a sizeable picturesque canal side village with a long history that goes back to the doomsday book. Audlem is famous for its run of 15 locks designed by Thomas Telford to raise the canal up from the Cheshire plain. The walk along the locks is regarded as one of the finest walks in lowland England.
