チャーチロートンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

„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

On the route

Lovely walk

Good paths

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

Access from The Salt Line. Great for walkers and bikes and has a tree trail so great for families. Also an animal and bird look out board.

Lovely hidden meadow around a lake.
